Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-65) herself moved from South to North in
her youth, from the London of her childhood to Knutsford and later
Manchester. Writer of six novels, numerous short stories and
novellas 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 novels Mary Barton, Cranford and Wives and Daughters are
also published in the Penguin English Library.
