Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth (1853) was the first mainstream novel to
make a fallen woman its eponymous heroine. It is a remarkable story
of love, of the sanctuary and tyranny of the family, and of the
consequences of lies and deception, one that lays bare Victorian
hypocrisy and sexual double-standards. Shocking to contemporary
readers, its radical utopian vision of "a pure woman faithfully
presented" predates Hardy's Tess by nearly forty years. This fully
revised and corrected new edition is based on the three-volume
first edition of 1853, collated with the one-volume 1855 edition.
Tim Dolin's fascinating new introduction challenges the view of
Ruth as one of Gaskell's weaker novels and explores its radicalism
and cultural influence, highlighting the remarkable story of love,
family, and hypocrisy that it tells. In addition, the book includes
an up-to-date bibliography, a chronology of Gaskell's life and
work, and invaluable notes that shed much light on the book's
historical, religious, and literary allusions and points of
significance.
