When a crisis of faith prompts his departure from the Church of England, Margaret Hale’s father moves his family north to bleak, industrial Milton. At first, Margaret is put off by the town’s grit and poverty - a stark contrast to her rural southern hometown. But when she is awakened to the suffering of Milton’s hardworking citizens, she makes it her mission to improve their lives. However, Margaret soon finds herself at odds with the man she is falling in love with - the handsome, bullheaded industrialist John Thornton.

Love has many forms, many needs. Some fall into the dark, into the shadows. Forbidden love has connotations of desire, of possession but also of matters far more unsavoury. It’s a delicate facet of love that our classic authors explain with careful words and superbly crafted narratives.

Elizabeth Gaskells enchanting tales of Cranford are often linked to her childhood in Knutsford, a quaint town in Cheshire, where she spent time in her youth. This connection is emphasized in her 1849 essay, The Last Generation in England, where she fondly recalls the town in which I once resided. It’s clear that Knutsford served as the inspiration for Cranford. In 1851, while crafting Cranford, Gaskell also penned a novella titled Mr. Harrisons Confessions, which explores the life of a country doctor in a small provincial town—likely modeled after Knutsford, a place she cherished. ...

"Mary Barton: A Tale of Manchester Life" was Mrs Gaskell's first full-length novel. It was published anonymously in that tumultuous year of political change, 1848 - only a few months after the Communist Manifesto co-authored by her fellow Manchester-resident, Friedrich Engels. Engels's experience as agent in his father's cotton-spinning factory motivated him to write "The Condition of the Working Class in England", a classic account of the sufferings of the poor under the factory-system. Elizabeth Gaskell's own personal contact with the plight of the poor cotton workers of Lancashire also ...
