Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell

By Lesa Scholl and Emily Morris

Book Overview

Building on theories of space and place, this collection examines the global reach of Elizabeth Gaskell's influence and places her work within the narrative of British letters and narrative identity. In keeping with the theme of progress and change, the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire.
