Elizabeth Gaskell

In the small village of Cranford, some twenty miles from the bustling industrial city of Drumble, the lives of the town's eccentric, endearing characters are revealed in a tapestry of intimate vignettes that reveal the social intricacies of nineteenth-century English society. With humor, heart, and wit, Elizabeth Gaskell imagines a world populated by a loyal circle of female friends whose idiosyncrasies and camaraderie form the fabric of this captivating narrative. As the industrial revolution impacts the town and societal norms evolve, Cranford faces both external and internal changes. The gentle Miss Matty Jenkyns and her fellow Cranfordians navigate the challenges of their shifting landscape with grace and tenacity, providing a heartwarming and insightful glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in an extraordinary setting. The saga of their tribulations and joys is a must-read for all fans of the work of Jane Austen and the Bront sisters. Cranford is not just the story of a place; it's a celebration of community and the enduring power of human connections. This Warbler Classics edition includes an essay about the subtly subversive nature of Cranford-a pioneering novel in its time-and a detailed biographical timeline.

English author Elizabeth Gaskell's social novel North and South was published in 1854 and 1855. It is one of her best-known books, along with Wives and Daughters (1865) and Cranford (1853), and it has been televised three times. The 2004 revision reignited interest in the book and drew it to a larger audience. Originally, Charles Dickens, the editor of Household Words, the magazine in which the novel was serialized, insisted on using North and South as the title of the book instead of Margaret Hale, the protagonist. North and South use a protagonist from southern England to present and comment on the perspectives of mill owners and workers in an industrializing city, in contrast to Gaskell's first book, Mary Barton (1848), which focused on relations between employers and workers in Manchester from the perspective of the working poor. The fictional industrial town of Milton in the north of England serves as the setting for the book. Margaret Hale relocates to Milton with her parents after being forced to leave her peaceful, rural southern home. She witnesses the Industrial Revolution's harshness and the initial strikes' conflicts between employers and employees.

Mary Barton is set in the English city of Manchester between 1839 and 1842, and deals with the difficulties faced by the Victorian working class. John Barton is a questioner of the distribution of wealth and the relations between rich and poor. Soon his wife dies--he blames it on her grief over the disappearance of her sister Esther. Having already lost his son Tom at a young age, Barton is left to raise his daughter, Mary, alone and now falls into depression and begins to involve himself in the Chartist, trade-union movement.

Sylvia's Lovers is a Victorian romance novel described by the author as "the saddest story I ever wrote". The story begins in the 1790s in the fictional coastal town of Monkshaven against the background of the practice of impressments during the early phases of the Napoleonic Wars. Sylvia Robson lives happily with her parents on a farm, and is passionately loved by her rather dull Quaker cousin Philip. She, however, meets and falls in love with Charlie Kinraid, a dashing sailor on a whaling vessel, and they become secretly engaged. When Kinraid goes back to his ship, he is forcibly enlisted in the Royal Navy by a press gang, a scene witnessed by Philip. Philip does not tell Sylvia of the incident nor relay to her Charlie's parting message and, believing her lover is dead, Sylvia eventually marries her cousin and they get a daughter. Inevitably, Kinraid returns to claim Sylvia and she discovers that Philip knew all the time that he was still alive. Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was an English novelist and short story writer.

Forced to leave her home in the tranquil, rural south, Margaret Hale settles with her parents in Milton. She witnesses the brutal world wrought by the Industrial Revolution, seeing employers and workers clashing in the first strikes. Sympathetic to the poor (whose courage and tenacity she admires and among whom she makes friends), she clashes with John Thornton: a nouveau riche cotton-mill owner who is contemptuous of his workers. The story traces her growing understanding of the complexity of labor relations and their impact on well-meaning mill owners and her conflicted relationship with John Thornton.

Part of the Hero Classics series“As far as she could see, her life was ordained to be lonely, and she must her nature to her life, and, if possible, bring the two into harmony. When she could employ herself in fiction, all was comparatively well. The characters were her companions in the quiet hours, which she spent utterly alone, unable often to stir out of doors for many days together.” When Charlotte Bronte’s father asked Gaskell to write his daughter’s biography, his main concern was to preserve the legacy of Charlotte and present an authorised take on her life as opposed to the speculations and gossip in the yellow papers. Gaskell and Charlotte had met on just a few occasions, so the biographer had to do profound research to actually delve into her mysterious life. From Charlotte’s own notes to various letters she had access to, Gaskell is seen mapping through a range of sources to find out the truth of her life. Right from the first pages of the text, we can distinctly spot Gaskell’s artistic infusions of metaphors and the poetic descriptions of the setting as well as doing justice with the life of Charlotte Bronte. This biography is all that is needed for Bronte’s readers as well as the admirers of inventive stylistic takes in non-fictional writing. Upon its publication in 1857, The Life of Charlotte Bronte quite predictably caused controversy, so much so that the biographer was threatened with a legal action. Exciting exploration into Charlotte’s life and the criticism which followed, this makes it a must read for Bronte students and fans.

»En beundransvärd historia, full av karaktär & kraft.« Charles DickensEn av de stora brittiska klassikerna i nyöversättningDen unga Margaret Hale kommer till Milton i norra England tillsammans med sin far, som blivit frikyrkopastor som blivit frikyrkopastor efter att ha lämnat statskyrkan och en församling i den lantliga södra delen av landet. Mötet med den sjudande fabriksstaden och dess hårda klassgränser blir en chock för henne. Arbetare och fabriksägare drabbar samman på gatorna, och de första strejkerna utbryter. För Margaret är det lätt att välja sida, hon får många vänner bland de fattiga och hamnar i konflikt med den nyrike textilfabrikören John Thornton, som föraktar sina arbetare. Men de svåra motsättningarna i samhälle och ekonomi kan inte förhindra att de två dras till varandra. Samtidigt som det viktorianska England förändras för alltid äger en kärlekshistoria med förhinder rum. Med industristaden Manchester som förebild bygger Elizabeth Gaskell upp en hård och hänsynslös värld, men också hoppfull; de sociala förändringar som tar sin början visar också att en större mänsklig förståelse är möjlig. Nord och syd är en klassiker i den engagerade samhällslitteraturen, på nivå med Dickens eller Balzac, men med en helt egen människokännedom.
