About the Author
Elizabeth Gaskell, 18101865
Novelist, daughter of William Stevenson, a Unitarian minister, and for some time Keeper of the Treasury Records. She married William Gaskell, a Unitarian minister, at Manchester, and in 1848 published anonymously her first book, Mary Barton, in which the life and feelings of the manufacturing working classes are depicted with much power and sympathy. Other novels followed, Lizzie Leigh 1855, Mr. Harrisons Confessions 1865, Ruth 1853, Cranford 18513, North and South 1855, Sylvias Lovers 1863, etc. Her last work was Wives and Daughters 1865, which appeared in the Cornhill Magazine, and was left unfinished.
Mrs. Gaskell had some of the characteristics of Miss Austen, and if her style and delineation of character are less minutely perfect, they are, on the other hand, imbued with a deeper vein of feeling. She was the friend of Charlotte Bront, to whom her sympathy brought much comfort, and whose Life she wrote. Of Cranford Lord Houghton wrote, It is the finest piece of humoristic description that has been added to British literature since Charles Lamb.
