Elizabeth Gaskell, Paperback / softback Book

Elizabeth Gaskell Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The Nineteenth-Century Novel series

Paperback / softback

Description

First published in 1970, this study demonstrates both the range and essential unity of the works of Mrs. Gaskell. The author analyses the novels of social criticism, the biography of Charlotte Brontë and the novels of country life as distinct expressions of her genius, commenting on recurrent themes, typical methods of presentation and consistent attitudes as they appear in each of the works.

The differences of subject and intention between the three kinds of writing will be seen in the extracts which indicate the range of her ability and interests.

The final section summarises her range and success and failure.

This book will be of interest to students of literature and sociological history.
