Autor

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, known as Mrs. Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer, born on September 29, 1810, in England. Her works provide a comprehensive portrayal of Victorian society, focusing on various social classes, including the impoverished. Gaskell's first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848 and received acclaim for its vivid depiction of industrial life and social issues. She went on to write several other notable works, such as North and South, Cranford, and Ruth, which also reflect her interest in the challenges faced by different societal groups. Gaskell's writing often examined class, gender, and moral questions, making her an influential figure in 19th-century English literature. She married William Gaskell in 1832, and together they had five children: Margaret Emily, Julia Bradford, Marianne, Florence Elizabeth, and William. Gaskell passed away on November 12, 1865, at the age of 55. Her works have inspired numerous adaptations, including films like The Followers and Cousin Phillis. She was the daughter of William Stevenson and Elizabeth Holland.
