درباره این ای-کتاب
In her groundbreaking novel "Ruth," Elizabeth Gaskell explores the intricate intersection of virtue, societal expectation, and moral complexities in Victorian England. Through the poignant narrative of Ruth Hilton, a young woman who faces societal scorn after bearing an illegitimate child, Gaskell employs a rich, empathetic prose style that delves deep into the struggles of her characters against the backdrop of class disparity and gender norms. The novel intertwines elements of social realism with profound philosophical inquiries, illustrating the harsh realities faced by women of the era while advocating for compassion and social reform. Elizabeth Gaskell, a prominent literary figure of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by her own experiences and the societal changes surrounding her. Hailing from a background that championed social justice, Gaskell's writing often reflected her keen awareness of the issues that marginalized women faced. Her encounters with diverse communities while living in industrialized Manchester provided her with a unique lens through which she examined the complexities of morality and societal judgment, thus informing her narrative in "Ruth." This compelling novel is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature and social critique. Gaskell's masterful character development and evocative storytelling resonate with contemporary audiences, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring themes of redemption and the transformative power of love. "Ruth" ultimately stands as a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, making it a vital addition to any literary collection.
درباره نویسنده
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (1810-1865), was a distinguished Victorian novelist and short story writer known for her vivid portrayal of society and keen observation of Victorian life. Born in London and raised in Cheshire, Gaskell was schooled in the classics and developed an early fascination with literature. She married Rev. William Gaskell and settled in Manchester, a city whose industrial milieu significantly influenced her writings. Gaskell's first novel, 'Mary Barton' (1848), exposes the harsh realities of working-class life and the plight of the industrial poor, establishing her as a critical voice of social reform. 'Ruth' (1853), the referenced work, is an unconventional narrative about a 'fallen woman,' criticizing the moral rigidity and lack of sympathy of the period, and exemplifying Gaskell's humanistic approach and compassionate storytelling. Her other notable works include 'North and South' (1855) and 'Cranford' (1853), the latter celebrating the resilience of a community of middle-class women. Gaskell's literary style often intertwines meticulous social examination with spirited dialogue and multifaceted characters, which won her recognition amongst peers like Charles Dickens and Charlotte Brontë. She also penned the first biography of Brontë, 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' (1857), evidencing her biographical prowess and depth of insight into the human condition. Gaskell's contribution to English literature is encapsulated in her probing of Victorian society, thoughtfully challenging conventions, class disparities, gender roles, and the inequity of her era.
