Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell

Ruth by Elizabeth Gaskell

Gaskell's depiction of a fallen woman as her heroine shocked contemporary readers. Ruth is seduced and heartlessly abandoned but finds shelter and love with her illegitimate child until a twist of fate brings her past back to haunt her. This new edition explores the novel's radicalism and cultural influence.

Tim Dolin is the author of George Eliot in the Authors in Context series for Oxford World's Classics, and he has introduced Charlotte Brontë's Villette and Hardy's A Pair of Blue Eyes for the series. He has edited three Hardy novels for Penguin and his book on Thomas Hardy in the Life and Times series was published by Haus in 2008.
