Description

The Novels of Elizabeth Gaskell

Elizabeth Gaskell, (1810 – 1865), often referred to simply as Mrs Gaskell, was a British novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Mary Barton had a huge impact on the reading public and provoked widespread discussion. Its subject matter – the appalling state of impoverished workers in the industrial centres of the North and her sympathetic treatment of their plight – pricked the conscience of a nation. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature.
