About the book

In «A Dark Night's Work,» Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell delves into the intricate web of moral dilemmas and social consequences that arise from a tragic event in a seemingly idyllic rural setting. This novella is characterized by its profound exploration of human emotions, interspersed with Gaskell's signature blend of realism and gothic sensibility. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the text masterfully intertwines themes of guilt, redemption, and the weight of societal expectations, all rendered in Gaskell's rich, evocative prose. The narrative is notable for its psychological depth, employing a narrative style that invites the reader to scrutinize the motivations of its characters and the societal structures they inhabit. Gaskell, a prominent figure of the Victorian literary scene, was deeply influenced by her own experiences with social injustice and the lives of the working class, themes that resonate throughout her oeuvre.
