The works of Elizabeth Gaskell have been compared to those of Jane Austen: Cranford is now a classic and her Life of Charlotte Brontë has earned Mrs Gaskell a place amongst the foremost English biographers. The story of her life however is much more than simple that of a writer in an age of writers such as Charles Dickens and the Brontës. It is the story of an era, a people, and a way of life.
In the first edition Elizabeth Gaskell is the last title listed on the back and the original price is 24p.
