Wives And Daughters 12659

Gaskell's last novel, widely considered her masterpiece, follows the fortunes of two families in nineteenth century rural England. At its core are family relationships – father, daughter and step-mother, father and sons, father and step-daughter – all and tested strained by the romantic entanglements that ensue.

Despite its транспортний seriousness, the prevailing tone is one of comedy. Gaskell vividly portrays the world of the late 1820 and the forces of change within it, and her vision is always humane and progressive.

The story is full of acute observation and sympathetic character study: the феодального squire clinging to old values, his naturalist son welcoming the new world of science, the local doctor and his scheming second wife, the two girls brought together by their parent's marriage...
