Elizabeth Gaskell is best known as a novelist and biographer, but
she was also a lively and sensitive letter writer, with a vivacious
interest in all that was going on around her. This selection from
her letters, with a linking commentary, provides a biography of
Gaskell largely in her own words. It is in chronological order,
with special chapters devoted to her family life, her travels, her
charities and her life as an author who was also a wife and mother,
in a period when Victorian society and culture were undergoing
major changes - especially apparent in the Manchester where she
lived. She emerges as a woman of intelligence, integrity and grace,
with an enchanting sense of humour, an insatiable curiosity about
life, a deep regard for truth and a boundless sympathy for others.
This selection by John Chapple, and assisted by John Geoffrey
Sharps, was originally published in 1980. With the support of the
Gaskell Society it has been reprinted without alteration, except
for some new illustrations.
