Autoren-Profil
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (1810–1865), was a prominent British novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era, known for her keen social commentary and nuanced female characters. Born in London and raised in Knutsford, Cheshire, Gaskell married William Gaskell, a Unitarian minister, and settled in Manchester, a city whose industrial milieu deeply influenced her writing. Her literary career began in earnest with the publication of 'Mary Barton' (1848), which addressed the dire conditions of the working class and established her reputation as a thoughtful social critic. Gaskell's narrative style seamlessly blends a rich depiction of ordinary lives with the pressing social issues of her time, such as gender roles, class disparity, and industrialization. 'Sylvia's Lovers' (1863), one of her later works, continues this tradition. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, it explores themes of love, betrayal, and the clash between personal desire and societal expectations, marking it as a poignant and complex examination of human emotion and moral dilemmas. Gaskell's literary contributions were not limited to novels; she also wrote novellas and an acclaimed biography, 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' (1857), endearing her to readers and critics alike for her detailed, empathetic prose and her dedication to truth. Gaskell's work remains an indispensable part of the British literary canon, offering timeless insights into the human condition and the volatile social landscape of 19th century England.
