Více o knize

Gaskell's work provides a vivid exploration of Victorian society, delving into the lives of various social classes, particularly the impoverished. Her background as the wife of a Unitarian minister in Manchester, a hub of industrial activity, heavily influenced her storytelling. Notable for her keen social observations, she is celebrated for her novels, including "Mary Barton," "Cranford," "North and South," and "Wives and Daughters," as well as her biography of Charlotte Brontë, making her a significant figure for both literary enthusiasts and social historians.
