  Mary Barton, particularly in its early chapters, is a moving response to the suffering of the industrial worker in the England of the 1840‘s. What is most impressive about the book is the intense and painstaking effort made(5) by the author, Elizabeth Gaskell, to convey the experi- ence of everyday life in working-class homes. Her method is partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such features as a carefully annotated reproduction of dialect,the exact details of food prices in an account of a tea(10)party, an itemized description of the furniture of the Bartons’ living room, and a transcription (again anno- tated) of the ballad "The Oldham Weaver." The interest of this record is considerable, even though the method has a slightly distancing effect.(15) As a member of the middle class, Gaskell could hardly help approaching working-class life as an outside observer and a reporter, and the reader of the novel is always conscious of this fact. But there is genuine imag- inative re-creation in her accounts of the walk in 美国GREen(20)Heys Fields, of tea at the Bartons‘ house, and of John Barton and his friend’s discovery of the starving family 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. 17.Which of the following best describes the author‘s attitude toward Gaskell’s use of the method of documentary record in Mary Barton?英语作文
