Synopsis "Cranford"

Cranford follows, in short vignettes, the activities of the society in a fictional small English country town. Gaskell drew from her own childhood in Knutsford to imbue her settings and characters with a nostalgic quality in a time when the societies and styles portrayed were already going out of fashion. Though not especially popular at the time of publication, Cranford has since gained an immense following, including at least three television adaptations.

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (September 29, 1810 - November 12, 1865), often known simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was a Victorian era English novelist and short story writer. Her novels provide a detailed portrait of the lives of many social strata, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians, as well as to literature lovers.
