First published in 1975, this book places Elizabeth Gaskell amongst
the major novelists of the nineteenth-century. It considers how she
has sometimes been overlooked, or admired for very few of her
works, or for reasons that are not in fact central to her art. W.
A. Craik looks at Gaskell's full-length novels with three main
purposes: to analyse her development as a novelist, her
achievements, and the nature of her very original work; to see what
she owes to earlier novelists, what she learns from them, and how
far she is an innovator; and to put her in relation to those other
novelists who write on similar themes with comparable aims. This
book establishes Elizabeth Gaskelll's excellence in comparison with
her peers by demonstrating how far she extended the possibilities
of the novel, both in materials and techniques.
