Résumé

The humour in ‘Cranford’ (1853) is so sly it can be difficult to believe it was written over 150 years ago. Originally published in instalments and edited by Charles Dickens, the novel follows a delightful group of women in a small town who are united by all being single, poor, and proud. Written with acute observation, ‘Cranford’ is in equal parts affectionate, moving and darkly satirical. ‘Cranford’ has been adapted for television by BBC three times, and the latest version from 2007 featured Dame Judy Dench and Dame Eileen Atkins.Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was an English novelist, short story writer, and biographer, best known for her novels ‘North and South’ and ‘Wives and Daughters’ as well as her biography of Charlotte Brontë. Gaskell was viewed as a minor author until the 1950s where it became evident that her depiction of industrial environments and social problems was brilliant and poignant.

Auteur

Elizabeth Gaskell (auteur)

Fille et femme de pasteur, Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) connaissait intimement la vie provinciale et les milieux industriels. Sa sensibilité aux questions sociales la porta à peindre avec sympathie la condition des opprimés de son temps : les ouvriers et les femmes. Proche de Charles Dickens, George Eliot et Charlotte Brontë, elle a occupé une place importante sur la scène littéraire victorienne. Les éditions Fayard ont publié Nord et Sud en 2005 et Les Amoureux de Sylvia en 2012.Une jolie édition de Nord et Sud est parue chez Points Seuil en 2005, avec un certain succès (plusieurs réimpressions et coup de coeur" de la Fnac, en particulier).
