About the book

Elizabeth Gaskell's «The Collected Works» offers a compelling exploration of social issues, gender, and class in Victorian England, manifested through her signature blend of realism and eloquent prose. Comprising notable novels, short stories, and fables, this anthology showcases her deft characterizations and rich narrative style, which intricately weave personal and societal dilemmas. Gaskell's work often exemplifies the struggles of the working class and the moral complexities of modern life, positioning her among the pivotal voices of 19th-century literature and reflecting the evolving dynamics of her time. Gaskell, born in 1810 in London and raised in a nonconformist family, was deeply affected by the social inequalities and industrial changes around her. Her close ties to the industrial town of Manchester, coupled with her friendships with prominent literary figures like Charlotte Brontë, profoundly influenced her writing. Gaskell's personal experiences, including the loss of her own children and her observations of working-class life, imbue her works with an empathetic depth, encapsulating the challenges and triumphs faced by ordinary people. For readers seeking an incisive understanding of Victorian society through the lens of a gifted storyteller, «The Collected Works» is a must-read. Gaskell's authentic portrayals invite thoughtful engagement with timeless themes of humanity and resilience, making her stories relevant to contemporary readers who grapple with similar societal issues.
