The Moorland Cottage was published as a Christmas story in late 1850. Elizabeth Gaskell composed a beautiful story of country love, with a powerful picture of virtues and vices and an appeal to the feeling of goodwill. Maggie Browne, its heroine, lives with an indifferent mother and an ambitious brother. After struggling to overcome the social differences that separate her from her love—the heir of a landowner—she will be pushed to a supreme sacrifice to save her own ungrateful family.
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.
