Book Synopsis Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford by : Dr Thomas Recchio
Download or read book Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford written by Dr Thomas Recchio and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the publishing history of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford from its initial 1851-53 serialization in Dickens's Household Words through its numerous editions and adaptations, Thomas Recchio focuses especially on how the text has been deployed to support ideas related to nation and national identity. Recchio maps Cranford's nineteenth-century reception in Britain and the United States through illustrated editions in England dating from 1864 and their subsequent re-publication in the United States, US school editions in the first two decades of the twentieth century, dramatic adaptations from 1899 to 2007, and Anglo-American literary criticism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Making extensive use of primary materials, Recchio considers Cranford within the context of the Victorian periodical press, contemporary reviews, theories of text and word relationships in illustrated books, community theater, and digital media. In addition to being a detailed publishing history that emphasizes the material forms of the book and its adaptations, Recchio's book is a narrative of Cranford's evolution from an auto-ethnography of a receding mid-Victorian English way of life to a novel that was deployed as a maternal model to define an American sensibility for early twentieth-century Mediterranean and Eastern European immigrants. While focusing on one novel, Recchio offers a convincing micro-history of the way English literature was positioned in England and the United States to support an Anglo-centric cultural project, to resist the emergence of multicultural societies, and to ensure an unchanging notion of a stable English culture on both sides of the Atlantic.

Download or read book Mary Barton written by Elizabeth Gaskell and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Barton is the daughter of a proud and militant trade unionist. When she finds herself torn between two men, one a workingclass friend and the other the son of a wealthy mill owner, it becomes clear that class and love are deeply, if regretfully, connected in Victorian Manchester. With its vivid depiction of 19th-century Manchester and its stirring study of the struggles of the working class, Mary Barton remains a timeless classic that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. Elizabeth Gaskell [1810 - 1865], born in London, England, grew up with her aunt in Knutsford, just outside Manchester. She later married William Gaskell, who was a pastor in Manchester. Among her circle of friends were Charles Dickens and Charlotte Brontë. Among her most famous works are Cranford and Wives and Daughters.
Book Synopsis The Industrial Novels by : Mehmet Akif Balkaya
Download or read book The Industrial Novels written by Mehmet Akif Balkaya and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clear historical and theoretical framework for reading three important novels published in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. Examining the novels by Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell, the book offers an analysis of their strategies for radical reforms and for the restructuring of society and politics through improvements in the living and working conditions of the working class. The Industrial Novels begins with an introduction of the Industrial Revolution, which is then followed by chapters devoted to a detailed discussion of each novel. Through this, the book explores the negative social, political and economic effects of industrialization and urbanization, as reflected in Charlotte Brontë’s Shirley (1849), Charles Dickens’ Hard Times (1854), and Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South (1855). As such, the book will be of interest to academics and students in the fields of both literature and sociology.
Book Synopsis North and South by : Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
Download or read book North and South written by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell and published by . This book was released on 1855 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of the local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man, John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction. In North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell skillfully fuses individual feeling with social concern, and in Margaret Hale creates one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An Accursed Race' is a non-fiction book written by the English author Elizabeth Gaskell, best-remembered today for writing the first biography of Charlotte Bronte. Here, she discusses a group of people called the Cagots, which were a persecuted minority found in the west of France and northern Spain: the Navarrese Pyrenees, Basque provinces, Béarn, Aragón, Gascony and Brittany. They were groups of people who didn't necessarily have shared ancestry or religion, yet they were shunned and hated. While restrictions varied by time and place, many discriminatory actions were codified into law in France in 1460 and they were typically required to live in separate quarters. Cagots were excluded from various political and social rights. Few consistent reasons were given as to why they were hated; accusations varied from Cagots being cretins, lepers, heretics, cannibals, sorcerers, werewolves, sexual deviants, to actions they were accused of such as poisoning wells, or for simply being intrinsically evil.
