Description
The Manchester Marriage is a novella by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in 1858. The story revolves around the marriage of two people from different social classes in Manchester, England. The protagonist, a well-bred young woman named Mary Barton, falls in love with a working-class man named Jem Wilson. Despite the objections of her family and friends, Mary marries Jem, and they begin their life together. However, their marriage is soon tested by financial difficulties and social pressures. Mary's family disapproves of Jem's lack of education and social status, and Jem struggles to provide for his family. As the couple faces these challenges, they must also confront their own flaws and shortcomings. The Manchester Marriage explores themes of class, love, and marriage in Victorian England. It is a poignant and insightful portrait of the struggles and joys of married life.Alice stood still in perplexed wonder. What did he mean? He had resumed the reading of his newspaper, as if he did not expect any answer; so she found silence her safest course, and went on quietly arranging his breakfast, without another word passing between them. Just as he was leaving the house, to go to the warehouse as usual, he turned back and put his head into the bright, neat, tidy kitchen, where all the women breakfasted in the morning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
