An Accursed Race

'An Accursed Race' is a non-fictional work by Elizabeth Gaskell in which she tells us a story of Cagots -- who are the very accursed race from the title. Gaskell tries to trace their history from the medieval times, although there is not much information given. Why are they called so? This book contains answers to these question and can be interesting for those who study history as well as for the admirers of Elizabeth Gaskell's talent.
