Publisher's Synopsis
Northwood: Or Life North And South, Showing The True Character Of Both is a novel written by Sarah Josepha Buell Hale and published in 1852. The book explores the differences and similarities between life in the North and South of the United States during the mid-19th century. The story follows the experiences of two families, one from New England and one from Virginia, as they navigate the social, economic, and political landscapes of their respective regions. Through their interactions and experiences, the novel highlights the cultural and ideological divides between the North and South, including issues related to slavery, class, and gender. Hale, a prominent author and editor during her time, was also an advocate for women's rights and education, and these themes are also present in the book.
