Autor

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was a renowned British novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era, celebrated for her detailed and sympathetic portrayals of the lives of various strata within Victorian society. Born Elizabeth Stevenson in London, she was married to William Gaskell, a Unitarian minister, and settled in Manchester, a city that provided rich inspiration for her incisive social commentary. Gaskell's literary career began with the publication of her first novel, 'Mary Barton' (1848), revealing the harsh realities of life for the industrial working class, followed by 'Cranford' (1853), a gently satirical portrait of a small Cheshire town. Her narrative prowess further includes 'North and South' (1855), juxtaposing the gentility of Southern England with the industrial North, and 'Wives and Daughters' (1866), her final, unfinished novel that explores the dynamics of provincial life. Her novella 'Lizzie Leigh' (1855), from which the present reference is drawn, addresses the social stigma associated with fallen women and the possibility of redemption. In addition to her novels, Gaskell's biography 'The Life of Charlotte Brontë' (1857) is a seminal work that illuminates the life of her fellow novelist and friend. Gaskell's nuanced characterizations, astute handling of social issues, and vivid regional dialects have established her as a distinguished figure in English literature, admired for interweaving moral concerns with enthralling storytelling (Uglow, 1993).
