| Hunchback of Notre Dame |
| Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885) |
Hunchbacked, one-eyed, lame and eventually deaf, Quasimodo is the bell-ringer at the Notre Dame cathedral in 15th century Paris, France. A victim of constant ridicule, Quasimodo finds greatest solace and happiness in these bells. He loves them like no other, until he happens upon the beautiful gypsy, La Esmerelda. A hunchback, an Archdeacon, a playwright and a handsome Captain - each enchanted by La Esmerelda. Accusations of sorcery, a sham marriage, mayhem and murder - The Hunchback of Notre Dame continues to entertain. |

| Mary Barton |
| Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810 - 1865) |
Mary Barton is a millworker's daughter who comes into contact with the son of a wealthy family. She must decide between her devoted lover and the possibilities of joining a middle class family. The book explores the British lower classes' frustration, the false sense of class mobility of the 1800s, at a time when the working class were not able to vote. Much of this novel is autobiographical, incorporating incidents from Gaskell's own life. |
