play that conspicuously lacks any such
self-conscious recognition of error by its

he has created. Like the nurse here, he simply
wishes things had never ...

Making or Breaking Community (1) Elizabeth
Gaskell's novel Mary Barton can hardly be referred
to as the exceptional literary masterpiece.
Nevertheless, from a certain point of view, the
value of her novel is higher than the value of
other books, written about the same time by

Victorian society, often at the expense of over
complicating the plot. In order for Mary Barton to
be read as rather documentary th...
