Elizabeth Gaskell by Jenny Uglow

Elizabeth Gaskell won fame and notoriety as the author of "Mary Barton" and "The Life of Charlotte Bronte". This biography looks at Gaskell'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 she 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.
