Giới thiệu tác giả
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs. Gaskell, was an eminent Victorian author known for her detailed portrayal of the various strata of English society. Born on September 29, 1810, in Chelsea, London, Gaskell's literary career began in the shadow of her personal grief - the loss of her son, which prompted her to write as a form of solace. Her work is characterized by a keen observation of character and a profound understanding of the social issues of her time, including class disparity and the condition of women. Gaskell's narratives often weave a rich tapestry of differing social environments, from the grimy industrial towns in 'North and South' (1854-55) to the more genteel, yet equally complex, rural settings of works like 'Cranford' (1851-53). Her first novel, 'Mary Barton' (1848), was a groundbreaking piece that highlighted the plights of the working class, earning her the respect of both critics and contemporaries, including Charles Dickens with whom she collaborated. Gaskell's 'The Collected Works' provides a comprehensive view into her literary contributions, showcasing her versatility stretching from Gothic tales to social realism. Her writing not only entertains but also invites her readers to reflect on the humanitarian and existential questions of her era, blending a novelistic aesthetic with reformist zeal. Gaskell passed away on November 12, 1865, but left behind a legacy that cemented her as a pillar of 19th-century British literature.
