Gaskells work had great importance to the labour and reform movements, and it influenced writers such as Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle and Charlotte Bront.The plot of Mary Barton concerns the poverty and desperation of Englands industrial workers. Fundamentally, however, it revolves around Marys personal conflicts. She is already divided between an affection for an industrialists son, Henry Carson, and for a man of her own class, Jem Wilson. But Marys conflict escalates when her father, a committed trade unionist, is asked to assassinate Henry, who is the son of his unjust employer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67772747055392,"sku":"USED1551111691","price":8.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61L1ii25SzL.jpg?v=1792029604","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mary-barton-broadview-literary-texts-1551111691-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
