Reaping the benefits of socialism in this socialist country I call home, coming from a long lineage of outspoken unionists and being a woman who once wrote a Masters’ thesis steeped in Marxist theory, I should have read North and South years ago. And then I decided to start some reading of Gaskell. Miniseries of Wives and Daughters, Cranford and Return to Cranford have followed. This major gap in my life – and it is a decided gap, I have discovered – had started to be bridged this past autumn, when I discovered the BBC’s North and South miniseries.
I hadn’t read any of her books, hadn’t seen any of the adaptations and miniseries, and I’m a former English major, gosh darn it! Over forty years on this planet, and I’ve had nothing to do with Elizabeth Gaskell. North and South Book Review: Elizabeth Gaskell published the classic love story in 1854.
