Om forfatteren
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (1810–1865), was an esteemed English writer during the Victorian era, widely recognized for her meticulous social novels and her significant contribution to the biographical genre. Gaskell's literary prowess is manifested in her adept exploration of the nuances of contemporary social issues and her compassionate portrayal of the complexities of human character. Among her notable works, 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' (1857) stands out as a poignant and insightful biography of her close friend and fellow novelist, providing rare glimpses into the life of the celebrated author of 'Jane Eyre.' Gaskell's biographical style is distinguished by its blend of warm personal anecdotes and carefully researched accounts, which she utilized to narrate Brontë's life with both empathy and literary finesse. Besides biography, Gaskell's fiction, which includes works such as 'Mary Barton' (1848), 'North and South' (1855), and 'Cranford' (1853), often addressed the socioeconomic divides of her time. Her novels are hallmarked by their strong, progressive female characters and engaging prose.
