Historians have long treated Elizabeth Gaskell as a gossip after her 1857 Brontë biography led to a public retraction.

Brontë specialist Graham Watson says that admission was false and that she was a whistleblower silenced by those she tried to expose.

Many thanks to #ElizabethGaskellsHouse for a delightful morning on their new #CharlotteBrontë & #ElizabethGaskell Tour. It was a treat to get to explore this lovely #Victorian home as we heard stories about the special friendship between these two extraordinary #authors.

#ElizabethGaskell was born #OnThisDay in 1810, becoming a novelist & short story writer with a sharp proto-feminist critique of gender & class in #Victorian #England in novels such as #Cranford; she certainly understood the need for a woman's independence from men~!

Elizabeth Gaskell really said, books are cake for the brain, and frankly, I see no reason to improve upon that philosophy. 📚🍰

Sylvia’s Lovers by Elizabeth Gaskell | Full Audiobook 📖 A Tragic Victorian Romance of Love, Duty & Sacrifice Part 1
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (4.5 / 5 – Catholic Perspective) Sylvia’s Lovers is a powerful exploration of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and the consequences of human choices.

Y’all, I don’t usually make book recommendations, but I have a IRL friend who just published a modern North and South AU. It’s really good. I just binged it!

"Margaret could not help her looks ... her movements, full of a soft feminine defiance, always gave strangers the impression of haughtiness."

She loses everything except her hope, compassion, and determination.
