Further Letters of Mrs Gaskell

Contains number of previously unpublished letters which were not included in the hardback edition. Completes the project of publishing the correspondence of one of the greatest nineteeth-century novelists - J. A. V. Chapple edited not only the letters of Elizabeth Gaskell (1966), but also published Elizabeth Gaskell: The early years in 1997. The influence and appreciation of Mrs Gaskell is undergoing a renaissance, with the recent BBC adaptation of Wives and Daughters and the forthcoming North and South. The authors are two of the acknowledged world experts on Elizabeth Gaskell - both of whom have helped the BBC in compiling the 1999 Omnibus programme. This collection illustrates once more the richness and diversity of her involvement in a remarkable range of social and literary activities, making her letters an important source for scholars of Victorian literature and culture6. Includes correspondence.
