Storia
1691, Salem, New England: la diciassettenne Lois Barclay sbarca dalla Redemption, il vascello che l'ha portata dal Vecchio al Nuovo Mondo. Dietro di sé, l'Inghilterra, il ricordo dei genitori e un amore; davanti a sé la famiglia dello zio che non ha mai visto e tante incognite. L'America che ci racconta Elizabeth Gaskell (Londra, 1810 - Alton, 1865) è quella della nuova frontiera, di un territorio ostile e selvaggio in cui i continui scontri con le tribù dei Nativi aumentano il senso di precarietà e vulnerabilità.

Storia
When Margaret Hale moves with her father from the comfort of the south of England to the industrial north, she is at first repulsed by what she sees; and then when she discovers the conditions under which the workers are forced to live, she is outraged. But this throws her into direct conflict with the powerful young mill-owner, John Thornton. Using personal passions to explore deep social divisions, North and South is a great romance and one of Elizabeth Gaskell's finest works.

Storia
When her father remarries, the honest, innocent Molly Gibson suddenly finds herself with a new stepsister, Cynthia, who is beautiful, worldly and impetuous. This would be more than enough to deal with, but the new wife is the deeply snobbish (and darkly secretive) Hyacinth. Thwarted love, scheming ambition and small-town gossip underlie the warmth, irony and brilliant social observation which link the relationships and the inevitable conflicts as profound change comes to rural England.

Storia
Elizabeth Gaskell's comic portrait of early Victorian life in a country town describes with poignant wit the uneventful lives of its lady-like inhabitants, offering an ironic commentary on the separate spheres and diverse experiences of men and women. As the external world necessarily impinges even on Cranford, the unlikely juxtapositions of old and new brought about by the pace of change are also explored.
