Elizabeth Gaskell and the English Provincial Novel
Author: W. A. Craik
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135048630
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
First published in 1975, this book places Elizabeth Gaskell amongst the major novelists of the nineteenth-century. It considers how she has sometimes been overlooked, or admired for very few of her works, or for reasons that are not in fact central to her art. W. A. Craik looks at Gaskell’s full-length novels with three main purposes: to analyse her development as a novelist, her achievements, and the nature of her very original work; to see what she owes to earlier novelists, what she learns from them, and how far she is an innovator; and to put her in relation to those other novelists who write on similar themes with comparable aims. This book establishes Elizabeth Gaskelll’s excellence in comparison with her peers by demonstrating how far she extended the possibilities of the novel, both in materials and techniques.

ISBN:
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 4638
Book Description
Elizabeth Gaskell's 'The Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)' is a comprehensive collection that showcases the remarkable literary talent of a Victorian-era female writer. Gaskell's works often explore social issues, class differences, and the plight of women in society, depicted through vivid characters and engaging plotlines. Her writing style is characterized by its deep emotional resonance, nuanced character development, and insightful social commentary. This collection includes popular novels like 'North and South' and 'Cranford,' as well as shorter works and novellas that highlight Gaskell's versatility as a writer. Gaskell's works are essential reading for those interested in Victorian literature, feminist perspectives, and the social issues of the 19th century. Elizabeth Gaskell, a contemporary of Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a minister's wife and keen observer of society. Her background in social activism and philanthropy informs her writing, as she sheds light on the struggles of the working class and marginalized groups. Gaskell's empathetic approach to storytelling and keen insight into human nature have secured her a place in the literary canon. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)' to readers who appreciate classic literature, feminist themes, and engrossing storytelling. Gaskell's timeless tales continue to resonate with readers today, offering valuable insights into the complexities of human relationships and societal norms.
