| | Gaskell's Unitarianism is not to be found in her characters but in the dynamics of her narratives and in her comments upon her characters' actions." | | | Gaskell is no longer regarded as a minor Victorian novelist, but is esteemed as peer of William Thackeray and surpassed as a writer only by George Eliot and Charles Dickens. | | | Cranford was Gaskell's favorite among her books, and for many decades in the early twentieth century, her only remembered work. |

| | Elizabeths social position then ensured that in later life she would be part of an influential circle. | | | Those who are familiar with Elizabeths life, will know of the Unitarian influence in her life, from her mother, father and husband. | | | In the Bloomfield study, Thomas Wedgwood (1685-1739) and his wife Mary Stringer (vide the genealogical chart) are singled out as the initiators of the dynasty, from whom, as can be seen Elizabeth Gaskell is descended also. |

| | Elizabeth Gaskell, British Unitarianism and Darwinism |
| | Elizabeth's husband, Rev. William Gaskell, co-minister of the Cross Street Chapel in Manchester, encouraged his wife to write after the death of their only son in infancy and was always supportive of her career. | | | One author, Elizabeth Gaskell, wrote in England around the time of Dickens and George Eliot, and who was totally unknown to me is described here as the daughter and wife of Unitarian Ministers. | | | Elizabeth did learn to read from the Bible, from moral tales for children and from the classics. |

| | UTEL: Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell Page |
| | "Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) caused a storm in 1848 with the publication of her first novel Mary Barton, a tale of love, industrial unrest and murder in Manchester; her husband William was a Unitarian minister in the city, and his congregation included many of the mill-owners whom she attacked for their unfeeling treatment of the poor. | | | Gaskell was immensely versatile, alert to the power of different genres, from Gothic melo-drama to rich dialect comedy. | | | While the circulating libraries banned the novel and some outraged readers even burnt it, women writers like Charlotte Bronte and Elizabeth Barrett Browning praised Ruth strongly, complaining only that is did not go far enough. |

| | Elizabeth Gaskell: Biography |

| | Gaskell's published sermons include Submission to the Will of God (1855), Unitarian Christians Called to Bear Witness to the Truth (1862), The Strong Points of Unitarian Christianity (1873), The Person of Christ (1874), The Christianity of Christ (1875), and Popular Doctrines That Obscure the Views Which the New Testament Gives of God (1875). | | | He portrayed Jesus as "a man approved of God," whose actions provided a realistic pattern of merit and whose story was "a sweet solace and refreshment." Disbelieving in original sin, Gaskell thought human beings were capable of rising above their shortcomings and attaining nobility. | | | At first holding classes in his own study, Gaskell taught literature, history and New Testament Greek. |

| | Ellen Moody's 'Net Writings and Teaching |
| | Gaskell manages to convey to us that the solemnness of young Manning is too earnest, indeed at moments a bit silly, but she does this through his interactions with other and his own self-deprecating comments. | | | There is a tongue-in-cheek quality which undercuts the warmth and Gaskell is not fond of the snobs. | | | As Jenny Uglow's fascinating biography Elizabeth Gaskell: A Habit of Stories explains (a book I really can't recommend enough), she originally wanted the story to be longer, and at one stage thought she would have to make it even shorter. |

| | The Literary Gothic Elizabeth Gaskell |
| | It is, according to Angus Easson (author of Elizabeth Gaskell [1979]), "[o]ne of her best short stories" (24) and "a splendid ghost story. | | | I'm a bit leery of the last part of that, since Henry James's classic story is of a very different sort than Gaskell's overtly supernatural tale, and that makes me wonder about what sort of "class" we're talking about, but it's a damn fine piece of work no matter how you slice it. | | | Penguin Classic's Gothic Tales by Gaskell, edited by Laura Kranzler, includes a number of Gaskell's ghost stories. |

| | Tremendously popular in her lifetime, Elizabeth Gaskell now tends to be overshadowed by the Brontës and George Eliot. | | | Out of her observations of the Manchester poor came Mary Barton, which was one of an array of novels written in the 1830s and 1840s that brought the miserable living conditions of the working poor to the public's attention. | | | Something of a celebrity in England, Gaskell lent her support to raising funds for her friend Florence Nightingale's work in the Crimea in 1854. |

| | She was married in 1832 to William Gaskell, a Unitarian parson from Manchester. | | | Elizabeth Gaskell developed a style in her work that possessed both insight and sympathy. | | | The students attended the adjacent Holy Trinity Church and Elizabeth was able to use her knowledge of the Clopton family, derived in part from their chapel in the church, when writing about nearby Clopton House. |

| | It was these wretched conditions that led Mrs Gaskell to write her first book, 'Mary Barton: A Tale of Manchester Life'. | | | 'Cranford' was Mrs Gaskell's second book and the first one to represent the sunnier side of her literary nature. | | | For the first few years after she was married, Elizabeth was busy having children (she had six, of whom four, all girls, survived) and carrying out the duties that fell to a Minister's wife. |

| | LIKE many other authors of her generation, Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell was fascinated by the plight of workers in 19th-century Manchester. | | | Even so, the book dwells at some length on suffering and privation without managing to come up with any realistic solution to Manchester's many ills, other than to propose a return to the principles of love and Christianity. | | | Other Gaskell novels followed, some of them, like Cranford (1853), which is based on Knutsford, set in gentler surroundings, but she returned to the industrial theme in 1855 with North and South. |
