Recenzii

"She was a pioneer, multi-tasking mother... Gaskell's work will always be one of the adornments of liberal Britain" Guardian "My dear Scheherazade...I am sure your powers of narrative can never be exhausted in a single night, but must be good for at least a thousand nights and one" -- Charles Dickens "Her stories are wonderfully funny, but the ridiculous is bathed in a poignant, dreamlike mood found nowhere else in fiction, and profound ideas and strong values sleep beneath everyday details of bonnets and cakes" -- Jenny Uglow "People who read her always come away surprised at how modern she sounds. You don't have to think yourself into her century in order to sympathise, since her guiding principle was no more or less than a sense of practical, day-today justice, totally outside the abiding gentleman-lady-peasant-donkey-peasant's wife hierarchy which surrounded her" -- Zoe Williams Evening Standard "Pah! to Dickens. Eat your heart out, Little Nell. That Elizabeth Gaskell could write a death scene to make your socks melt" Scotsman

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

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell's last novel, is regarded by many as her masterpiece. Molly Gibson is the daughter of the doctor in the small provincial town of Hollingford. Her widowed father marries a second time to give Molly the woman's presence he feels she lacks, but until the arrival of Cynthia, her dazzling step-sister, Molly finds her situation hard to accept. Intertwined with the story of the Gibsons is that of Squire Hamley and his two sons; as Molly grows up and falls in love she learns to judge people for what they are, not what they seem. Through Molly's observations the hierarchies, social values, and social changes of early nineteenth-century English life are made vivid in a novel that is timeless in its representation of human relationships. This edition, the first to be based in the original Cornhill Magazine serialization of 1864-6, draws on a full collation of the manuscript to present the most accurate text so far available. 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.
