Elizabeth Gaskell's firsthand experiences as the wife of a clergyman in industrial Manchester inspired her to write 'Mary Barton.' Her compassion for the working poor and her desire to expose the realities of their lives drove her to create a novel that would spark conversations about social reform and economic inequality.

O autoru
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (1810–1865), was a renowned English novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era. Gaskell's writing often reflected her deep humanistic concern and acute observation of the varying social strata of the 19th century. Her literary contributions provide significant insight into the lives of the poor and the plight of women, often intertwining romance with social critique. 'Mary Barton' (1848), her debut novel, is a powerful and moving tale of love and class conflict set against the backdrop of the industrial revolution in Manchester. It illustrates her social consciousness and ability to evoke empathy for her characters' dilemmas. Gaskell's narrative prowess extends beyond her critically acclaimed 'Mary Barton' to other notable works such as 'Cranford' (1851-53), 'Ruth' (1853), 'North and South' (1854-55), and the posthumously published 'Wives and Daughters' (1866). Her style wielded a blend of realism and romanticism, making her writing accessible yet profound, tending to the intricate details of everyday life and its numerous complexities. As a contemporary and friend of Charles Dickens and Charlotte Brontë, Gaskell's literary standing garnered respect; she even penned the famous 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' (1857). This biography not only cemented her as a significant literary figure but also as a deft biographer with a keen psychological insight and compassion for her subject (Uglow, 1993).
