Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was an esteemed English writer, celebrated for her delicate rendering of Victorian society, with a particular focus on the lives of women and the complexities of social strata. Born in London, she was raised in Knutsford, Cheshire, after her mother's untimely death. Gaskell's literary style can be defined by its blend of realism and romanticism, presenting a vivid tapestry of the era's dilemmas and social injustices. Her narratives often weave through intricate human emotions and social critique, as exemplified by 'The Doom of the Griffiths' (1858), a haunting short story laden with themes of familial curses and the destructive nature of obsessive revenge. Gaskell's work includes novels, short stories, and a biography of her dear friend Charlotte Brontë. Among her most notable works are 'North and South' (1855) and 'Cranford' (1853), both of which provide insightful commentary on the industrial revolution and its impact on Victorian England. Gaskell's writing is further distinguished by her empathetic prose and the dignified portrayal of characters from various social classes. Her legacy persists as a sophisticated observer and chronicler of 19th-century British life, an author whose works continue to be celebrated for their narrative depth and social consciousness.
