What is most impressive .joxue.about the book is the intense and painstaking effort made.joxue.(5) by the author,
15、Elizabeth Gaskell, to convey the experi-.joxue.ence of everyday life in working-class homes. Her method .joxue.is partly documentary in nature: the novel includes such .joxue.features as a carefully annotated reproduction of dialect, .joxue.the exact details of food prices in an account of a tea .jo
16、xue.(10)party, an itemized description of the furniture of the .joxue.Bartons living room, and a transcription (again anno-.joxue.tated) of the ballad The Oldham Weaver. The interest .joxue.of this record is considerable, even though the method .joxue.has a slightly distancing effect.joxue.(15) As a
17、 member of the middle class, Gaskellcould .joxue.hardly help approachingworking-classlife as anoutside .joxue.observer and a reporter, and the reader of the novel is .joxue.alwaysconsciousof this fact.

18、Heys Fields, of tea at the Bartons house, and ofstarvingDeath.John .joxue.Barton and his friend s discovery of the family .joxue.in the cellar in the chapter Poverty andIndeed, .joxue.for a similarly convincing re-creation of such families .joxue.emotions and responses (which are more crucial than t
19、he .joxue.(25)material details on which the mere reporter is apt to con-.joxue.centrate), the English novel had to wait 60 years forthe .joxue.early writing of D. H. Lawrence. If Gaskell never quite .joxue.conveys the sense of full participation that would pletely authenticate this aspect of Mary Ba
20、rton, she .joxue.(30)still brings to these scenes an intuitive recognition of .joxue.feelings that has its own sufficient conviction.joxue.The chapter Old Alice s History brilliantly drama-.joxue.and the countryside toThe account of Job Legh,tizes the situation of that early generation of workers .j
21、oxue.brought from the villages the .joxue.(35)urban industrial centers.to the studythe .joxue.weaver and naturalist who is devotedof .joxue.biology, vividly embodiesone kind of responseto19an .joxue.urban industrial environment: an affinity for living .joxue.things that hardens, by its very contrast
22、 with its environ-.joxue.(40)ment,into a kind of crankiness.

23、 see; about Job Legh, intent on .joxue.(45)his impaledinsects - capture the characteristicresponses .joxue.of a generationto the new and crushing experienceof .joxue.industrialism.

37、ated by a study of fourteen such .joxue.models. Comparing climate forecasts for a world with .joxue.double the current amount of carbon dioxide,researchers .joxue.found that the models agreed quite well if clouds were .joxue.(15)not included. But when clouds were incorporated, awide .joxue.range of
