Book Synopsis Elizabeth Gaskell by : Angus Easson

Download or read book Elizabeth Gaskell written by Angus Easson. This book was released on 2016-07-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1979, this book looks at every aspect of the life and work of Elizabeth Gaskell, including her lesser known novels and writings — especially those concerning life in the industrial north of Victorian England. It shows how her work springs from a culture and society which pervades all she thought and wrote. An opening chapter explores her religion, culture, friendships and family. The major works are considered in turn and background material relevant to the novels’ industrial scenes is presented. The process of literary creation is charted in material drawn from letters and by examination of the manuscripts. Her short stories, journalism and letters are also considered.

Book excerpt: This collection contains two outstanding sets of material for the study of Victorian literature from the holdings of the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds. The collection of Elizabeth Gaskell's correspondence is the largest in the world. There are many letters to her daughters & sisters-in-laws. These tell us much about her concerns, her views of literature, & her life at home with the Rev William Gaskell. The Brontë collection is equally rich & diverse. Maria Brontë is represented by an essay on 'The advantages of poverty in religious concerns.' Charlotte Bronte is represented by a significant body of manuscripts - pride of place must go to the poems & there are also two exercise books used by Charlotte when travelling in Europe during the years 1842-1844. The particular strength of the Brontë collection is in the prose works of (Patrick) Branwell Brontë.

Book Synopsis Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford by : Dr Thomas Recchio

Download or read book Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford written by Dr Thomas Recchio. This book was released on 2013-04-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the publishing history of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford from its initial 1851-53 serialization in Dickens's Household Words through its numerous editions and adaptations, Thomas Recchio focuses especially on how the text has been deployed to support ideas related to nation and national identity. Recchio maps Cranford's nineteenth-century reception in Britain and the United States through illustrated editions in England dating from 1864 and their subsequent re-publication in the United States, US school editions in the first two decades of the twentieth century, dramatic adaptations from 1899 to 2007, and Anglo-American literary criticism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Making extensive use of primary materials, Recchio considers Cranford within the context of the Victorian periodical press, contemporary reviews, theories of text and word relationships in illustrated books, community theater, and digital media. In addition to being a detailed publishing history that emphasizes the material forms of the book and its adaptations, Recchio's book is a narrative of Cranford's evolution from an auto-ethnography of a receding mid-Victorian English way of life to a novel that was deployed as a maternal model to define an American sensibility for early twentieth-century Mediterranean and Eastern European immigrants. While focusing on one novel, Recchio offers a convincing micro-history of the way English literature was positioned in England and the United States to support an Anglo-centric cultural project, to resist the emergence of multicultural societies, and to ensure an unchanging notion of a stable English culture on both sides of the Atlantic.
