Britain's most widely read author of the late twentieth century,
Catherine Cookson published more than 100 books, including The
Fifteen Streets, The Black Velvet Gown, and Katie Mulhollond. Set
in England's industrial northeast, her novels depict the social,
economic, and emotional hardships of that area. In the first essay
collection devoted to Cookson, the contributors examine what
Cookson's memoirs and historical fiction mean to readers, including
how her fans contribute to her position in the cultural imaginary;
constructions of gender, class, and English and Irish identity in
her work; the importance of place in her novels; Cookson's place in
the heritage industry; and television adaptations of Cookson's
works. Cookson's work tackled topics that were still taboo in the
early post-World War II era, such as domestic abuse, rape, and
incest. This collection places Cookson in historical context and
shows how skillful she was at pushing generic boundaries.
