Literature The Nineteenth Century English Author Elizabeth Gaskell This is part of the Aurora project Elizabeth Gaskell was a famous nineteenth century novelist, renowned for writing about places and situations which she encountered during her life. Her books often dealt with social concerns, and from her writings we have been able to learn a great deal about life in England in those days. Born to an upper middle class family , and later marrying a clergyman, she saw many different sides of life, and the contrast between the rich and the poor. After the death of her mother when she was still a baby, she was sent from her birthplace, London, to Knutsford in Cheshire to live with an Aunt. From an early age she loved books, and at thirteen was sent to Avonbank Boarding School, at Stratford upon Avon, where she spent enjoyable schooldays. When her father died she was left with relatively little money, and to support herself she became a governess. She lived in several different parts of the country: London, Newcastle, Edinburgh and finally Manchester. Here she met a young junior minister William Gaskell, who was to become her husband. As a minister’s wife, Elizabeth became very involved in helping the poor, and saw for the first time, the dreadful hovels and cellars in which many workers lived amongst soot and grime. When she was twenty eight, Elizabeth wrote an article about an old country house, which was printed in a magazine. After losing her baby son to scarlet fever at ten months old, her husband suggested that she should write a book. It took her three years to write, because she always put her other duties to family and friends and those in need, before anything else.

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map Elizabeth Gaskell Profile Novelist. Born in London, the daughter of William Stevenson, a civil servant, Elizabeth was brought up in Knutsford, Cheshire by an aunt. Her association with the West Midlands is through the five years she spent at school in Warwickshire. In 1822 Elizabeth was sent to a boarding school three miles from Warwick at Barford. It was run by three sisters who were related to Josiah Wedgwood, the prosperous Midlands pottery manufacturer. It was a large and graceful house with spacious grounds and an open aspect and the town and its church are alluded to in Elizabeth's later writing. In 1824 the school moved to Avonbank, Stratford-upon-Avon , a Tudor building with literary associations, having been owned by a cousin of William Shakespeare. The students attended the adjacent Holy Trinity Church and Elizabeth was able to use her knowledge of the Clopton family, derived in part from their chapel in the church, when writing about nearby Clopton House. This became her first published work when it was included in Visits to remarkable places (1840) by William Howitt.

Few of Gaskell's contemporaries were willing to consign her exclusively to the ranks of ‘lady novelists’, and late Victorian memoirists and critics measured her achievements against those of Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot. Gaskell’s literary output was prolific and varied. As well as five major novels she also wrote several novellas – the most famous of which

Her father, William Stevenson, came from Berwick-on-Tweed, and had been successively Unitarian minister, farmer, boarding-house keeper for students at Edinburgh, editor of the Scots Magazine , and contributor to the Edinburgh Review , before he received the post of Keeper of the Records to the Treasury, which he held until his death. His first wife, Elizabeth Holland, was Elizabeth Gaskell's mother. She was a Holland of Sandlebridge, Knutsford, Cheshire, in which county the family name had long been and is still of great account. She died a month after her daughter was born, and the babe was carried into Cheshire to Knutsford to be adopted by her aunt, Mrs. Lumb. Thus her childhood was spent in the pleasant environment that she has idealized in Cranford . At fifteen years of age she went to a boarding-school at Stratford-on-Avon, kept by Miss Byerley, where she remained until her seventeenth year. Then came occasional visits to London to see her father and his second wife, and after her father's death in 1829 to her uncle, Swinton Holland. Two winters seem to have been spent in Newcastle-on-Tyne in the family of William Turner, a Unitarian minister, and a third in Edinburgh. On the 30th of August 1832 she was married in the parish church of Knutsford to William Gaskell, minister of the Unitarian chapel in Cross Street, Manchester, and the author of many treatises and sermons in support of his own religious denomination. William Gaskell held the chair of English history and literature in Manchester New College.

Her most popular book, Cranford (1853), is the study of a small, close-knit circle in a small town, modelled on Knutsford, Cheshire, where she was brought up. Her other books, which often deal with social concerns, include Mary Barton North and South Sylvia's Lovers Wives and Daughters (1866). She wrote a frank and sympathetic biography of her friend Charlotte Mary Barton Dickens , and also knew Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle and English writer William Thackeray . At Dickens's invitation she wrote for Household Words , in which Cranford appeared from 1851 to 1853. Ruth (1853) was her second full-length novel, and aroused controversy by having sympathetically portraying an unmarried mother as its heroine. North and South is similar to Mary Barton , with more emphasis on the owners' and management side of industrial relations. Her later works are all set in the country, and are marked by a maturity of technique.

Works Bio-Bibliographical Note Acknowledgements Usage Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell's Works Cranford Ruth A Bio-bibliographical note about Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell "Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) caused a storm in 1848 with the publication of her first novel Mary Barton , a tale of love, industrial unrest and murder in Manchester; her husband William was a Unitarian minister in the city, and his congregation included many of the mill-owners whom she attacked for their unfeeling treatment of the poor. Although Gaskell is reformist rather than radical, seeking `dialogue' and understanding between the classes, her novel showed great courage. This bravery was still more evident in Ruth (1853), the first English novel to take `a fallen woman' as its heroine - a problematic figure who is both `pure' and a sinner. While the circulating libraries banned the novel and some outraged readers even burnt it, women writers like Charlotte Bronte and Elizabeth Barrett Browning praised Ruth strongly, complaining only that is did not go far enough. Gaskell's justification in the face of attack was always her duty to tell the `truth', a justification she later used in connection with her brilliant and controversial

Keighley station is on this line of railway, about a quarter of a mile from the town of the same name. The number of inhabitants and the importance of Keighley have been very greatly increased during the last twenty years, owing to the rapidly extended market for worsted manufactures, a branch of industry that mainly employs the factory population of this part of Yorkshire, which has Bradford for its centre and metropolis. The town of Keighley never quite melts into country on the road to Haworth, although the houses become more sparse as the traveller journeys upwards to the grey round hills that seem to bound his journey in a westerly direction. First come some villas; just sufficiently retired from the road to show that they can scarcely belong to any one liable to be summoned in a hurry, at the call of suffering or danger, from his comfortable fireside; the lawyer, the doctor, and the clergyman, live at hand, and hardly in the suburbs, with a screen of shrubs for concealment.

She is in my pantheon of favorite 19th-century novelists, which also includes Hardy, Eliot and Trollope. I await the Cambridge Companion volume on Gaskell with great anticipation!
