About the book

Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton is set in industrial Manchester and follows a working-class family facing poverty, unemployment and social tension. Mary's personal relationships become intertwined with labour unrest and a murder investigation. Gaskell combines domestic drama with a powerful examination of class division and the human cost of rapid industrialisation.
