In the early 21st century, with Gaskell ’ s work “ enlisted in contemporary negotiations of nationhood as well as gender and class identities ” ( Matus, 2007, p. 9 ), North and South — one of the first industrial novels describing the conflicts between employers and workers — is now seen as presenting not only a narrative that depicts social conflicts as more complex but also as offering more satisfactory solutions through its heroine, Margaret Hale, spokesperson for the author, and Gaskell ’ s most mature creation.

These early chapters in different places have also been taken to mean a theme of mobility in the novel: In moving from one place to another, the heroine learns to understand herself and the world better and it advances Gaskell ’ s intent to show Margaret ’ s going where Victorian women were not supposed to go — the public sphere.

Matus ( 2007, pp. 35-43 ) also focuses on Gaskell ’ s depiction of “ interiority ,” or psychic process particularly as expressed in dreams and trances such as Thornton ’ s dream of Margaret as a temptress or the “ trance of passion ” of the rioters.

According to Bodenheimer, the narrative in the novel may sometimes appear melodramatic and sentimental ( e. g., But, for all that — for all his savage words, he could have thrown himself at her feet, and kissed the hem of her garment ( chapter 29 )), particularly in the riot scene, but she also sees Gaskell ’ s best writing as “ done with the unjudging openness to experience ” that she shares with D. H. Lawrence ( Bodenheimar, 1979, pp. 296-300 ).

It is a subject of some debate whether the first person narrator in Mary Barton is synonymous with Gaskell.
