Elizabeth Gaskell by Jenny Uglow
Elizabeth Gaskell won fame and notoriety as the author of "Mary Barton Ruth" and "The Life of Charlotte Bronte". This biography looks at Elizabeth's life and work. Standing as a figure caught up in the religious and political radicalism of mid-19th-century Britain, the book looks at how Elizabeth observed, from her Manchester home, the brutal but transforming impact of industry, enjoying a social and family life, but distracted by her need to write down the truth of what she saw.
Uglow, Jenny: - Jenny Uglow's books include prizewinning biographies of Elizabeth Gaskell and William Hogarth. The Lunar Men (FSG, 2002) was described by Richard Holmes as an extraordinarily gripping account, while Nature's Engraver won the National Arts Writers Award for 2007. A Gambling Man (FSG, 2009) was short-listed for the 2010 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. Uglow grew up in Cumbria and now lives in Canterbury, England.
