Elizabeth Gaskell: A Habit of Letters.
SKU: 14926
From her conservative Victorian life, Elizabeth Gaskell wrote some shockingly radical stuff. Including one of my favorites, North and South, which feels like Pride and Prejudice updated to deal with the Industrial Revolution and Victorian issues of conformity. This massive tome is a completely fleshed-out biography, and is truly so absorbing it seems to end too soon in spite of its 800 pages. Farrar Straus Giroux, NY. 1993. Hb, Dj. USED. $8.00
