North and South 

南北战争乱世情

Elizabeth Gaskell

伊丽莎白·盖斯凯尔



North and South is a social novel by English writer Elizabeth Gaskell. Along with Wives and Daughters (1865) and Cranford (1853), it is one of her best known novels and has been adapted for television twice, in 1975 and 2004. The latter version renewed interest in the novel and gained it a wider audience. Whereas Gaskell's first novel Mary Barton (1848) views relations between employers and workers from the perspective of the working poor, North and South is more balanced, focusing as well on the thinking of the employers. North and South is set in the fictional industrial town of Milton in the North of England. Forced to leave her home in the tranquil rural south, Margaret Hale settles with her parents in Milton where she witnesses the brutal world wrought by the industrial revolution and employers and workers clashing in the first organised strikes. 



这部影片改编自英国著名女作家加斯凯尔夫人(伊丽莎白·盖斯凯尔)的同名小说。故事背景设定在工业革命时期,玛格丽特本居住于满满田园风光的南方,因为父亲的缘故举家搬迁到北方的米尔顿,在棉絮飘飘的加工车间里,玛格丽特与桑顿第一次相遇,不知为何我竟然感觉这一幕带有浪漫感,或许是飘落的棉絮让表情严肃出场的桑顿有了一丝柔和感。

Sympathetic to the poor whose courage and tenacity she admires and among whom she makes friends, she clashes with John Thornton, a cotton mill manufacturer who belongs to the nouveaux riches and whose contemptuous attitude to workers Margaret despises. Gaskell based Milton on Manchester, where she lived as the wife of a Unitarian minister.


如果说《傲慢与偏见》 充斥着浓厚的英伦田园小资情调,那么《南方与北方》则透露出工业革命浪潮下史诗般的幕景与变奏。


《南方与北方》可以说是一部工业时代的《傲慢与偏见》,而这样的偏见不再只建立在阶级之上,亦存在于地域之间。


女主变成了在桃花源般的南方乡间受过良好教育且个性独立的牧师女儿Margaret,男主则是北方城里少年辍学、白手起家后事业有成的工厂主Thornton。
