Notă biografică
English author Elizabeth Gaskell also wrote biographies and short stories. The very poor and other members of Victorian society are all depicted in great detail in her novels. Both readers of literature and social historians will find her work interesting. In 1848, Mary Barton, her debut book, was released. The earliest biography of Charlotte Bront was Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bront, which was released in 1857. She only covered the moral, sophisticated portions of Bronte's life in her biography; the rest was left out because, in her opinion, some of the more obscene details should be kept out of public view. The BBC has adapted all three of Gaskell's most well-known novels-Wives and Daughters (1865), North and South (1854-55), and Cranford (1851-53)-for television. On September 29, 1810, in the home that is now 93 Cheyne Walk in Lindsey Row, Chelsea, London, Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson was born. Elizabeth was a lovely young lady, neatly dressed, well-maintained, and thoughtful of others. She had a cool, collected demeanor and was innocently happy. She loved the simplicity of country living. Elizabeth Gaskell married Unitarian pastor William Gaskell in Knutsford on August 30, 1832.

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'He's spoilt my life,- he's spoilt it for as long as iver I live on this earth'The compelling story of an ordinary girl's tragic passion for a man who disappears, Sylvia's Lovers (1863) is Elizabeth Gaskell's last completed novel. Set in a fictional Whitby at the end of the eighteenth century, the novel is a modern revenge tragedy in which well-intentioned actions have unforeseen and terrible human consequences. Sylvia is loved by two men, her serious cousin Philip and the charismatic sailor Charley Kinraid. When one of them betrays her, her path in life seems fixed. Against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars and the ever-present threat of press-gangs, the story darkens when Sylvia's father is roused into vengeful violence. But this trouble proves only the precursor to a greater calamity that will radically alter Sylvia's future.Gaskell's novel, richly engaging with the legacy of the Brontë sisters, is her most extensive literary exploration of the tragic depths of unregarded, unhistoric, but vividly imagined lives. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
