Details
Cranford is a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, originally published in 1853 after appearing in the magazine Household Words. It is an episodic novel set in a small English village where mostly women live. The novel follows Mary Smith and her group of friends as they navigate everyday life in the village. The return of a long-lost brother, Peter, is the most significant event in the novel. Cranford is a satirical portrayal of female life in a secluded English village and is different from other novels by Elizabeth Gaskell in that it is concerned with everyday occurrences in the lives of mainly older ladies, rather than a significant social issue.
The novel features two main characters, Mary Smith and her older friend Matilda Jenkyns, who represent the merging of old and new England. The impact of industrialism on the traditional "code of gentility" is a recurring theme in the novel. Despite the changes brought by the new era, the story suggests that old and new ways of life can coexist, and Mary Smith merges the values and behaviors of the older generation with her Drumble background.
Cranford is a Victorian England fiction that also explores social etiquette and the lives of eccentrics. The novel touches on themes of social outcasts and gossip and scandal, but also features elements of matchmaking in Victorian romance. Despite its focus on the everyday lives of a small village, Cranford remains a significant contribution to the literary scene of Victorian England.
