Elizabeth Gaskell's 'The Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)' is a comprehensive collection that showcases the remarkable literary talent of a Victorian-era female writer. Gaskell's works often explore social issues, class differences, and the plight of women in society, depicted through vivid characters and engaging plotlines. Her writing style is characterized by its deep emotional resonance, nuanced character development, and insightful social commentary. This collection includes popular novels like 'North and South' and 'Cranford,' as well as shorter works and novellas that highlight Gaskell's versatility as a writer. Gaskell's works are essential reading for those interested in Victorian literature, feminist perspectives, and the social issues of the 19th century. Elizabeth Gaskell, a contemporary of Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a minister's wife and keen observer of society. Her background in social activism and philanthropy informs her writing, as she sheds light on the struggles of the working class and marginalized groups. Gaskell's empathetic approach to storytelling and keen insight into human nature have secured her a place in the literary canon. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)' to readers who appreciate classic literature, feminist themes, and engrossing storytelling. Gaskell's timeless tales continue to resonate with readers today, offering valuable insights into the complexities of human relationships and societal norms.

Tracing the publishing history of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford from its initial 1851-53 serialization in Dickens's Household Words through its numerous editions and adaptations, Thomas Recchio focuses especially on how the text has been deployed to support ideas related to nation and national identity. Recchio maps Cranford's nineteenth-century reception in Britain and the United States through illustrated editions in England dating from 1864 and their subsequent re-publication in the United States, US school editions in the first two decades of the twentieth century, dramatic adaptations from 1899 to 2007, and Anglo-American literary criticism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Making extensive use of primary materials, Recchio considers Cranford within the context of the Victorian periodical press, contemporary reviews, theories of text and word relationships in illustrated books, community theater, and digital media. In addition to being a detailed publishing history that emphasizes the material forms of the book and its adaptations, Recchio's book is a narrative of Cranford's evolution from an auto-ethnography of a receding mid-Victorian English way of life to a novel that was deployed as a maternal model to define an American sensibility for early twentieth-century Mediterranean and Eastern European immigrants. While focusing on one novel, Recchio offers a convincing micro-history of the way English literature was positioned in England and the United States to support an Anglo-centric cultural project, to resist the emergence of multicultural societies, and to ensure an unchanging notion of a stable English culture on both sides of the Atlantic.
