by Mrs. Gaskell.
A second chance to see this dramatisation in five parts by David Turner.

An issue which still unhappily persists in 1966 provides the title and the theme for this new five-part classic serial. The North is the raw industrial north of England of the mid-nineteenth century and its people -then as now-tended to regard the South as smug. over-privileged, and under-productive. For its part, the South regarded the North as uncouth.
Mrs. Gaskell, the socially perceptive Victorian novelist on whose work the serial is based, contrasts the two cultures in terms of the troubled love between the daughter of a genteel New Forest parsonage and the hard-driving master of a cotton mill.
