Beschreibung

This best-known episodic book ''Cranford'' is written by an English author, Elizabeth Gaskell. It was first published as a series of articles in the magazine Household Words before being turned into a book with the working title Cranford and being on sale in 1853. The play gradually gained popularity, and at the turn of the 20th century, it received a variety of dramatic adaptations for the stage, radio, and television. A little Cheshire hamlet from Elizabeth Gaskell's upbringing served as the inspiration for her book Cranford. It was initially written as a short story, and it was released in 1851 under the title "Our Society in Cranford." She also authored Ruth, a three-volume book that was published in January 1853, during this time. The eight different titles were originally issued for the episodes that were discussed in Cranford. In the first, a society of women known as "Amazons" who live in affluent poverty are introduced. Being forced to host a visit from her cousin Major Jenkyns stresses out Matty. Mary Smith hires and trains Martha as a new maid. The Great Panic of Cranford (chapters 9-11). In order to take care of Signor Brunoni, where Lady Glenmire meets and marries him.

Autor

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, also known as Mrs Gaskell, was an English author, biographer, and short story writer. Her stories provide a vivid image of many levels of Victorian society, including the very impoverished. Her debut work, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. The first biography of Charlotte Bronte was The Life of Charlotte Bronte by Elizabeth Gaskell, published in 1857. In her biography, she wrote solely about the moral and sophisticated portions of Bronte's life; the rest she left out, concluding that some, more lurid aspects were better kept buried. Gaskell's best-known novels include Cranford (1851-1853), North and South (1854-1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864-1866), all of which were adapted for television by the BBC. Gaskell was born Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson on September 29, 1810, in Lindsey Row, Chelsea, London (now 93 Cheyne Walk). Anthony Todd Thomson delivered her, and his sister Catherine eventually became Gaskell's stepmother. She was the youngest of eight children, and only she and her brother John survived infancy. Her father, William Stevenson, a Unitarian from Berwick-upon-Tweed, was preacher at Failsworth, Lancashire, but resigned on ethical reasons. He traveled to London in 1806 with the aim of heading to India after being appointed private secretary to the Earl of Lauderdale, who would later become Governor General of India.
