The novel begins in the 1790s in the coastal town of Monkshaven (modeled on Whitby, England) against the background of the practice of impressment during the early phases of the Napoleonic Wars. Sylvia Robson lives happily with her parents on a farm, and is passionately loved by her rather dull Quaker cousin Philip. She, however, meets and falls in love with Charlie Kinraid, a dashing sailor on a whaling vessel, and they become secretly engaged. When Kinraid goes back to his ship, he is forcibly enlisted in the Royal Navy by a press gang, a scene witnessed by Philip. Philip does not tell Sylvia of the incident nor relay to her Charlie's parting message and, believing her lover is dead, Sylvia eventually marries her cousin.

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. Nineteen-year-old Margaret Hale happily returns home from London to the idyllic southern village of Helstone after her cousin Edith marries Captain Lennox. She lived for almost 10 years in the city with Edith and wealthy Aunt Shaw to learn to be a young lady. Margaret has refused an offer of marriage from the captain's brother, Henry, an up-and-coming barrister. Her life is turned upside down when her father, the local pastor, leaves the Church of England and the rectory of Helstone as a matter of conscience; his intellectual honesty has made him a dissenter. At the suggestion of Mr. Bell, his old friend from Oxford, he settles with his wife and daughter in Milton-Northern. The industrial town in Darkshire manufactures cotton and is in the middle of the Industrial Revolution; masters and workers are clashing in the first organised strikes.

Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was a well known British novelist at one of the peak eras for female writers in England. A novelist and short story writer at the height of the Victorian Era, Gaskell's novels weave a comprehensive, detailed image of the lives of all kinds of different classes in society during that age, ranging from the very poor to the cream of the aristocratic crop. Of course, given the era in which she wrote, Mrs. Gaskell's writing included a wonderful style of prose that still continues to please literary critics, even while discussing the general themes of the day like religion and poverty. While novels like North and South dazzled readers, her short stories, particularly Gothic ghost stories, caught the eye of no less a writer than Charles Dickens, who helped get her stories published during the middle of the 19th century.

Pero Edith se había quedado dormida. Estaba preciosa acurrucada en el sofá del gabinete de Harley Street con su vestido de muselina blanca y cintas azules. Si Titania se hubiese quedado dormida alguna vez en un sofá de damasco carmesí, ataviada con muselina blanca y cintas azules, podrían haber tomado a Edith por ella. Margaret se sintió impresionada de nuevo por la belleza de su prima. Habían crecido juntas desde niñas, y todos menos Margaret habían comentado siempre la belleza de Edith; pero Margaret no había reparado nunca en ello hasta los últimos días, en que la perspectiva de su separación inminente parecía realzar todas las virtudes y el encanto que poseía. Habían estado hablando de vestidos de boda y de ceremonias nupciales; del capitán Lennox y de lo que él le había explicado a Edith sobre su futura vida en Corfú, donde estaba destacado su regimiento; de lo difícil que era mantener un piano bien afinado (algo que Edith parecía considerar uno de los problemas más tremendos que tendría que afrontar en su vida de casada), y de los vestidos que necesitaría para las visitas a Escocia después de la boda. Pero el tono susurrado se había ido haciendo cada vez más soñoliento hasta que, tras una breve pausa, Margaret comprobó que sus sospechas eran ciertas y que, a pesar del murmullo de voces que llegaba de la sala contigua, Edith se había sumido en una plácida siestecilla de sobremesa como un suave ovillo de cintas, muselina y bucles sedosos.
