Description

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell nee Stevenson (1810-1865), often referred to simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was an English novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era.

She is perhaps best known for her biography of Charlotte Bronte.

Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature.

She married William Gaskell, the minister at Cross Street Unitarian Chapel in Manchester.

They settled in Manchester, where the industrial surroundings would offer inspiration for her novels.

Her first novel, Mary Barton: A Tale of Manchester Life, was published anonymously in 1848.

The best known of her remaining novels are Cranford (1853), North and South (1855), and Wives and Daughters (1866).
