Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| British writer Elizabeth Gaskell depicted the oppressive conditions of 19th-century workers in northern England in her first novel, Mary Barton, a Tale of Manchester Life. Alongside her other novels exploring social concerns, notably women’s issues, she later became known for the biography Life of Charlotte Brontë, (1857) in which Gaskell attempted to dispel negative conceptions of Brontë’s work. | ||||||
