About The Author
Elizabeth Gaskell
Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-65) moved from the London of her childhood to Knutsford and later Manchester, and her experience of the differences between North and South deeply informed her writing. Writer of six novels, numerous shorter works and the biography of her great friend Charlotte Bronte, Gaskell was at first published anonymously but later in her own name. Much of her work was serialised in Charles Dickens’s widely-read literary weekly, Household Words. Gaskell’s other novels Mary Barton, Cranford and North and South are also published in the Penguin English Library.
