Cranford

Elizabeth Gaskell is one of the most significant British writers of the Victorian era. Her work combines subtle psychology, social observation, warmth, and humanity. "Cranford" is a charming and touching chronicle of life in a small provincial town. The main characters are elderly ladies from the middle class, whose habits, prejudices, and small secrets become the foundation for ironic, and sometimes melancholic sketches. "Cranford" is considered a classic of English literature, and its heroines are among the most charming and memorable in Gaskell's work.
