A review by orb12um
Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell
4.0
Gaskell paints the working class Manchester scene in an illuminating light. The anger and vitriol felt towards the working classes and the lack of care shown by the middle class is one of the best displays of the class culture of middle Victorian England.
One is led to hate Carson Jr but feel sorrow and sympathy for his father in an intriguingly nuanced way. Similarly, Mr Barton is developed into a complex character which fascinated the reader.
Mary herself is as heroic as can be and forces you to read on in our journey.
