North And South
About this eBook
North and South was first published in 1854 in weekly segments of Household Worlds—a magazine edited by Charles Dickens. The novel was given a second life in 1950, when it became a subject for critical Marxist analysis. Today, North and South is acclaimed as one of the most important novels of the Victorian era. It has been adopted for both stage and screen, most famously in the 2004 BBC drama series North & South.
