Over de auteur
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (1810–1865), was an eminent Victorian author known for her poignant storytelling and detailed depiction of the social and economic challenges of her time. Born on September 29, 1810, in London, she was raised in Knutsford, Cheshire, after the death of her mother. Gaskell's narratives often weave together the intricacies of individual lives and broader social issues, revealing her keen observation and moral depth. Her first novel, 'Mary Barton' (1848), confronts the grim realities of working-class life in Manchester and was followed by works like 'North and South' (1855) and 'Cranford' (1853), the latter of which paints a charming and humorous picture of rural society. Gaskell's literary style is marked by a compassionate portrayal of characters and the ability to bridge the gap between different social classes. 'An Accursed Race' (1855), although lesser-known, is a powerful historical piece that delves into the persecution of the Cagots, a social group in western France and northern Spain. Demonstrating her versatility, Gaskell penned both fiction and non-fiction with equal aplomb. Moreover, her biography 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' (1857) stands as a seminal work in the field of literary biography. Elizabeth Gaskell's works continue to be celebrated for their realism, humanism, and feminist elements, securing her standing as a distinguished figure in 19th-century English literature.
