«Cranford» is the novel of manners by Elizabeth Gaskell, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardback (253 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a nineteenth-century English village, it follows a group of spinsters and widows who keep up appearances of polite society. With irony and tenderness, the narrative weaves together visits, gossip, the arrival of a widowed captain with his daughters, news from overseas, and the financial difficulties of local families.
Cranford was originally published in 1853; this edition is part of RBA's Novelas Eternas collection, with a translation by Emeterio Mazorriaga.
For readers of Victorian fiction and portraits of nineteenth-century English manners.
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, often referred to as Mrs Gaskell, was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer. Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848. Her only biography The Life of Charlotte Brontë, published in 1857, was controversial and significant in establishing the Brontë family's lasting fame. Among Gaskell's best known novels are Cranford (1851–1853), North and South (1854–1855), and Wives and Daughters (1864–1866), all of which have been adapted for television by the BBC.
