About
Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell was born in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London, England. She was an English novelist and writer. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature. Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bronte, published in 1857, was the first biography of that author. She is best-known as the author of Cranford and North and South. In 1847 she published her first work of fiction, Libbie Marsh's Three Eras. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in October 1848. The serialisation of her last novel, Wives and Daughters, began in August 1864 in The Cornhill.
