Biographical note

Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) was an English novelist and short-story writer known for her interest in contemporary social issues that other authors often preferred to ignore, including industrialisation (Mary Barton, 1848), illegitimacy (Ruth, 1853) and the North-South divide (North and South, 1854). Her best-known work is probably her Life of Charlotte Bronte (1857) and three of her books, Wives and Daughters (1865), North and South and Cranford (1851) have been adapted for BBC television in recent years.
