Heffron, from a script adaptation by Patricia Green, Douglas Heyes, Paul F. North and South is a social novel published in 185455 by English writer Elizabeth Gaskell. The first edition in book form was published by Chapman and Hall in 1855. North and South (1985) was directed by Richard T. This and other suggestions on reshaping and altering for serialization annoyed Gaskell and damaged the pair's cordial working relationship. It thus calls greater attention to the disparities between the North and the South, which was a common subject in the discourse of the day. The novel was originally to be titled Margaret Hale, but was changed at the suggestion of Dickens. North and South was published in weekly installments in Household Words, the magazine edited by Charles Dickens, from September 2nd, 1854 to January 27th, 1855. She is a deep thinker but is often pushed into quick action and decision. The fictional industrial town of Milton was based on Manchester, where Gaskell lived with her family. Passionate, haughty, intelligent, and self-possessed, Margaret is the novels heroine. It features a strong female protagonist, a mature love story, and relevant social and political commentary regarding industrialization and class antagonisms present in mid-19th century England. North and South is a four part adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskells love story of Margaret Hale, a middle class southerner who is forced to move to the northern. Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South is often considered one of, if not the best, of her works, as well as a significant piece of Victorian literature.
