作者简介
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865), often referred to as Mrs. Gaskell, was an accomplished English novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era. Her literature reveals a deep understanding of human nature and society's complexities through a distinctively compassionate and detailed narrative style. Born in London and raised in Knutsford, Cheshire, Gaskell's early life experiences with English regional culture greatly influenced her later writings. Gaskell's poignant narrative 'North and South' (1854) contrasts the industrial North of England with the more agrarian South, exploring themes of class conflict, gender roles, and the transformative impact of the industrial revolution through the protagonist, Margaret Hale. Gaskell's insightful portrayal of the period and her use of character development to drive her narratives underscore her significance in the literary canon. Her work not only entertains but also serves as a subtle critique of the social and economic disparities of her time, thereby elevating her status to that of a social commentator through the medium of fiction. Gaskell's contributions to literature include other notable works such as 'Mary Barton', 'Cranford', and the biography of her friend Charlotte Brontë, evidencing her versatility and prowess in both fictional and biographical writing forms.
