Cranford is an episodic novel by Elizabeth Gaskell.It first appeared in the Household Words. It was then revised and published in book form in 1853.Cranford is partly based on Knutsford the town in which Gaskell grew up. It is inspired by rural town life of class snobbery. Gaskell fictionalizes her childhood observations to understand the role of class within society. The second impression of this edition. Publisher's note: The first impression of this edition of Cranford was published in 1940 but most of it was destroyed by enemy fire during the Blitz.
