The most well-known and well-liked of Gaskell's works, this softly
humorous picture of an English country village was first serialized
in a magazine edited by Charles Dickens in 1851. Based on the
village of Gaskell's childhood, "Cranford" is narrated by a young
woman visiting the town who describes the genteel poverty of two
middle-aged spinster sisters, Miss Matty and Miss Deborah. Gaskell
tells of their little adventures in a confidential and almost
chatty tone, perfectly conveying their habits and standards of
propriety, decency, and kindness in reduced circumstances. The
colorful characters and subtle class distinctions of the village of
Cranford are captured in this compassionate and hopeful portrayal
of small-town English life.
