Sommario/riassunto

This book shows Mary Barton to be a much more conflicted novel than it is usually thought to be, takes issue with patronizing accounts of Gaskell's views, and promotes her as an author whose grasp of the political and economic issues of the period runs deeper than is usually acknowledged.
