Ėlizabet Gaskell - odna iz samykh znachimykh britanskikh pisatelʹnit͡s viktorianskoĭ ėpokhi. Eë tvorchestvo sochetaet tonkiĭ psikhologizm, sot͡sialʹnui͡u nabli͡udatelʹnostʹ, teplotu i chelovechnostʹ.

"Krėnford" schitaetsi͡a klassikoĭ angliĭskoĭ literatury, a ego geroini - odnimi iz samykh obai͡atelʹnykh i zapominai͡ushchikhsi͡a v tvorchestve Gaskell.

Elizabeth Gaskell is one of the most important British writers of the Victorian era. Her work combines subtle psychology, social observation, warmth and humanity. "Cranford" is a charming and touching chronicle of the life of a small provincial town. The main characters are elderly middle—class ladies, whose habits, prejudices and little secrets become the basis for ironic and sometimes melancholic sketches. Cranford is considered a classic of English literature, and its heroines are among the most charming and memorable in Gaskell's work.
