Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-65) lost her mother at an early age and was
sent to live with her aunt in Knutsford, a country town outside
Manchester which is often thought to bear a notable resemblance to
the fictional Cranford. In this engaging biography, Esther Alice
Chadwick (1862-1929) shows how many historical facts of Gaskell's
life influenced her novels and stories - from the character of her
home town to the sudden disappearance of her brother in India.
Originally published in 1910, this was the first full biography of
the author; the revised edition of 1913 is reissued here. It
includes additional research, illustrations, and excerpts from
Gaskell's letters, which provide a touching glimpse into the life
of a writer who often felt herself torn between her intellectual
and domestic duties. Still a major source for modern biographies,
Chadwick's book remains an authoritative source for scholars and
students of English literature.
