An 1855 novel by Creator/ElizabethGaskell.
After Richard Hale, a minister, leaves the Church of England, the Hale family moves from the genteel South of England to the industrial North. The story deals with clashes between the cultures of North and South, the workers and their masters, and between protagonist Margaret Hale and the wealthy local factory owner John Thornton.
The book has twice been adapted for television, most recently in 2004, starring [[MyFamily Daniela Denby-Ashe]] and RichardArmitage. Although it was poorly publicised, it was a surprise smash hit with BBC viewers, who ended up crashing the BBC website with massive amounts of rave comments.
[-Not to be confused with the John Jakes trilogy of novels and miniseries [[NorthAndSouthUS of the same name]] (which starred [[DirtyDancing Patrick Swayze]]), set in and around the era of the American Civil War. Or the {{Strategy|Game}}[=/=]{{Action|Game}} [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_&_South_(video_game) video game]].-]

!!''North and South'' contains examples of:
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: The proposal scene definitely fits this.
* BelligerentSexualTension
* BigSecret: Margaret is seen at a train station at night with a man. She cannot explain that he was her brother, as he is wanted for treason and was not supposed to be in the country.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Most of the cotton mill owners are this. When talking about installing a fan to extract cotton dust, most mill owners mention that it is costly and they don't want to bother, despite the fact that it can reduce chances of lung desease in the workers.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Fanny Thornton. Sister to John Thornton.
* BreakTheHaughty: Both John Thornton and Margaret go through this.
* TheDitz: Fanny Thornton. The 2004 adaptation gave her a rather chav accent to hammer the point through.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Despite their reduced circumstance, the Higgins refuse handouts from Margaret.
* TheDungAges: In the 2004 adaptation, Milton is grey and dirty.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The town clearly sees the affection Thornton and Margaret have for each other, especially after Margaret bodily protects Thornton from the riot. Subverted in that Margaret later insists that she meant nothing romantic by the gesture, and merely felt guilty about forcing him out to face the mob.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: John Thornton, especially after he TookALevelInKindness. He installed the cotton dust extractor fan in his mill, and later even set up a canteen for his mill workers.
* IKissYourHand: [[spoiler:Margaret to John]] in a moment so sexually charged the air almost crackles.
* IllGirl: Bessy Higgins suffers a lung disease from working in the mills.

* NostalgiaFilter: When she first lives in Milton, Margaret constantly dreams of going back to the beautiful and idyllic Helstone. Her later visits there reveal that it is not as perfect as she remembered. She has to remind herself not to do the same to Milton.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Poor Margaret. Her actions constantly get misinterpreted. First she tries to save Thornton from being torn apart by the mob after she forces him to confront them. This gets taken as her displaying her romantic intentions way too openly. Later when she tries to take her brother late at night to the train station to escape, several witness (Thornton included), mistaken her as going out on a late night date.
* NouveauRiche: Henry Lennox sees Thornton as this. In Thornton's family, only Fanny explicitly displays the trope's characteristics.
* ParentsAsPeople: Margaret's father and mother. Margaret's father is strongly principles, but ulimately fails in his duty to provide for his family. Margaret's mother has become frail and unwell ever since her son's sentence. Margaret has to pick up a lot of the slack to take care of the house.
* PetTheDog / TookALevelInKindness: Thornton becomes a lot less indifferent to his workers' plight after seeing that they actually ''do'' have lots of starving children at home.
* PowderKegCrowd: The mill workers go on strike. After negotiations goes unresolved for weeks, the hungry workers turn into this instead, to Higgin's horror.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Thornton, despite being introduced to the audience beating up a mill worker, is actually an example of this. The mill worker had been lighting a smoke in the cotton dust filled mill, an action akin to juggling guns in a munitions factory. Later conversations revealed that he had also made an effort to install a cotton dust extractor in the mill to reduce lung disease in his employees.
* RightBehindMe: When Margaret voices her disappointment in Thornton just as he's walking into the room behind her.
* RomanticFalseLead: Henry Lennox for Margaret, and Sally Latimer for Thornton. Henry Lennox wanders into RomanticRunnerUp territory though, he has a bit more character, and is led up the garden path a little.
