In this charming work, Gaskell has analyzed the differing approaches of men and women. The amalgamated effect of late-Victorian era and approaching Imperialist trends has been examined. The fast-paced changes that were touching everyone have been portrayed in a comical manner.

Review

"Beautifully played, very funny and deftly directed, it's a world I cant wait to get back to" Independent "The cast was so strong it was almost distracting. But, as in any great ensemble, when the individuals came together nothing jarred... This adaptation added up to even more than the sum of its considerable parts" The Times "its early days, of course, but Cranford seems to achieve the perfect balance that every soap opera strives for - usually fails to reach - comedy, romance, intrigue, and a bit of social comment" Daily Express"

Book Description

Originally published as a magazine serial and then printed in novel form in 1853, Cranford is a playful tour of a peculiar country town. From the stately, stern Miss Jenkyns to the timid Miss Betsy Barker and her flannel-wearing cow, the inhabitants are all acquainted, and all poised to overhear scandal.
