　　in the cellar in the chapter "Poverty and Death." Indeed,

　　for a similarly convincing re-creation of such families’

　　emotions and responses (which are more crucial than the

　　(25)material details on which the mere reporter is apt to con-

　　centrate), the English novel had to wait 60 years for the

　　early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite

　　conveys the sense of full participation that would

　　completely authenticate this aspect of Mary Barton, she

　　(30)still brings to these scenes an intuitive recognition of

　　feelings that has its own sufficient conviction.

　　The chapter "Old Alice’s History " brilliantly drama-

　　tizes the situation of that early generation of workers

　　brought from the villages and the countryside to the

　　(35)urban industrial centers. The account of Job Legh, the

　　weaver and naturalist who is devoted to the study of

　　biology, vividly embodies one kind of response to an

　　urban industrial environment: an affinity for living

　　things that hardens, by its very contrast with its environ-

　　(40)ment,into a kind of crankiness. The early chapters―

　　about factory workers walking out in spring into 美国GREen

　　Heys Fields; about Alice Wilson, remembering in her

　　cellar the twig- gathering for brooms in the native village

　　that she will never again see; about Job Legh, intent on

　　(45)his impaled insects― capture the characteristic responses

　　of a generation to the new and crushing experience of

　　industrialism. The other early chapters eloquently por-

　　tray the development of the instinctive cooperation with

　　each other that was already becoming an important

　　tradition among workers.
