Dive into the compelling world of Elizabeth Gaskell, a prominent voice in Victorian literature and a key contributor to Charles Dickenss weekly magazine, Household Words, from 1850 to 1853. This collection features all of the short stories and non-fiction pieces that Gaskell published during this period, showcasing her remarkable talent. Included are her beloved serialized novels, Cranford, North and South, and My Lady Ludlow, alongside 18 shorter works that solidified her status as Dickenss most significant literary collaborator. Explore Gaskells poignant reflections on the working classes of industrial northern England through tales like Lizzie Leigh and The Heart of John Middleton, or escape to rural North Wales with The Well of Pen Morfa. Experience the thrill of ghostly mysteries in The Old Nurses Story and The Squires Story, crafted for Christmas editions. Gaskells sophistication shines in Morton Hall and My French Master, historical fictions that gracefully navigate themes of loss and the passage of time. Additionally, her varied non-fiction offers fascinating insights into inexplicable disappearances, an expatriate gardeners life in Persia, the Huguenot history, and a delightful day out on a sheep farm in northern England. Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of Gaskells work, narrated by Phil Benson.Copyright Fiction Classics アート 世界 文学史・文学批評
