Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Gaskell, born Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson (1810-1865), was an eminent Victorian author known for her incisive social commentary and vivid character portraits encapsulated within her rich variety of novels, novellas, and short stories. Gaskell's literary career commenced in earnest with the publication of 'Mary Barton' in 1848, which garnered critical acclaim for its compassionate portrayal of the working class in Manchester during the Industrial Revolution (Uglow, 1993). Her narrative style often intertwined elements of Gothic with the realist tradition, a synthesis exquisitely manifested in 'The Old Nurse's Story', a ghostly tale melding supernatural suspense with emotional depth (Foster, 2005). Gaskell's oeuvre further includes such notable works as 'North and South', juxtaposing industrial unrest with romance, and the biographical 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë', lauded for its intimate examination of her fellow novelist's life. Espousing the virtues of tolerance and social justice, Gaskell's writings frequently underscored the complexities of moral choice and class disparities, securing her legacy as a preeminent figure in English literature. Her contribution to the literary canon has continued to be the subject of scholarly interest, ensuring her narratives remain vibrant within the discourse of 19th-century literary scholarship (Matus, 2007).
