Novelist & biographer

Elizabeth Gaskell

Wrote North and South and Cranford, and the first biography of Charlotte Bronte, which shaped how the family was understood for a century.

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer. Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Her only biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë, published in 1857, was controversial and significant in establishing the Brontë family's lasting fame. Among Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford (1851 to 1853), North and South (1854 to 1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864 to 1866), all of which have been adapted for television by the BBC.
