Stevenson, was born in Chelsea, London, Sept. 29, 1810. She married a Unitarian clergyman in Manchester. Her first literary work was published anonymously, and met with a storm of mingled approval and disapproval. Charles Dickens invited her to contribute to his \"Household Words,\" and it was in the pages of that famous periodical, at intervals between December 13, 1851, and May 21, 1853, that her charming sketches of social life in a little country town first appeared. In June, 1853, they were grouped together under the title of \"Cranford,\" meeting with wide approval, and have long taken rank as one of the accepted English classics. The town which figures here as Cranford is understood to have been Knutsford, in Cheshire, which still retains something of that old-world feeling and restfulness which Mrs. Gaskell embodied in the pages of her most engaging book. \"Cranford\" is probably the direct progenitor of many latter-day books of the class to which the word \"idyll\" has been somewhat loosely applied. Its charm and freshness are unfading; it remains unique and unrivalled as a sympathetic and kindly humorous description of English provincial life. Mrs. Gaskell died in November, 1865.","brand":"Kartindo Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101367648496,"sku":"2940149714650","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149714650_p0.jpg?v=1763721989","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149714650","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
