Elizabeth Gaskell
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) moved from the South to the North of England in her youth, relocating from London, where she spent her childhood, to Knutsford and subsequently Manchester. She was a prolific writer, authoring six novels, numerous short stories, and novellas, as well as the biography of her close friend, Charlotte Brontë. Gaskell’s early works were published anonymously, but she later published under her own name. Much of her writing appeared serially in Household Words, the popular literary weekly edited by Charles Dickens. Gaskell’s novels Mary Barton, Cranford, and Wives and Daughters are also published in the Penguin English Library.
