ISBN: 9780199537006 出版年：1998 页码： Gaskell, Elizabeth Easson, Angus Shuttleworth, Sally Oxford University Press

Through the story of Margaret Hale, the middle-class southerner who moves to the northern industrial town of Milton, Gaskell skilfully explores issues of class and gender in the conflict between Margaret's ready sympathy with the workers and her growing attraction to the charismatic mill owner, John Thornton. This new revised and expanded edition sets the novel in the context of Victorian social and medical debate.
