Elizabeth Gaskell (aka ‘Mrs Gaskell’), author of such classic Victorian and ‘Condition of England’ novels as North and South and Cranford, died in Holybourne, Hampshire, on 12 November 1865 – she was 55.
The Illustrated London News did a feature on ‘The Secret of the Author of Cranford‘.
To commemorate the day, here is a newspaper tribute to Mrs Gaskell that was published on 18 November 1865.
We’ve also included three splendid illustrations for the novel, Cranford, which were published in The Graphic newspaper.
