As her sympathy for the town’s mill workers grows, her sense of social injustice piques and she passionately fights their corner. However, just as she disputes the mill owner, John Thornton’s treatment of his workers, she cannot deny her growing attraction to him. Highlighting the changing landscape of nineteenth-century Britain and championing the role of women in Victorian society, Gaskell brilliantly captures the lives of ordinary people through one of her strongest female characters in literature. HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

As her sympathy for the town’s mill workers grows, her sense of social injustice piques and she passionately fights their corner.
