Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Elizabeth Gaskell won fame and notoriety as the author of Mary Barton and The Life of Charlotte Bronte. This biography looks at Gaskell's life and work. Standing as a figure caught up in the religious and political radicalism of mid-19th-century Britain, the book looks at how she observed, from her Manchester home, the brutal but transforming impact of industry, enjoying a social and family life, but distracted by her need to write down the truth of what she saw. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001554029
