What Our Customers Say...
Description
Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
In the original unclipped dust wrapper. Cranford is an episodic novel by Elizabeth Gaskell.
It first appeared in the Household Words. It was then revised and published in book form in 1853.
Cranford is partly based on Knutsford the town in which Gaskell grew up. It is inspired by rural town life of class snobbery. Gaskell fictionalizes her childhood observations to understand the role of class within society.
