"A working-class girl longs for the security of marriage to a factory owner -- but tragically, her heart belongs to someone as impoverished as herself. Set in Manchester at the height of the Industrial Revolution, Mary Barton offers a poignant view of the injustice of the industrial class system. The novel influenced Dickens, Carlyle, and other writers and helped pave the way for labor and reform movements"-- Provided by publisher
