Elizabeth Gaskell: 1851 portrait by George Richmond. A chalk portrait drawing of a Gaskell, shown from the chest up against a plain light background. She has dark hair parted centrally and drawn back smoothly, with loose strands falling at the sides. Her features are delicate and her expression gentle and slightly smiling. She wears a light dress with a dark brooch or bow at the neckline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Gaskell#/media/File:Elizabeth_Gaskell.jpg

Elizabeth Gaskell: the story centers on a hotheaded worker killing an abusive capitalist

Editor: ok, and what about the romantic part of the story?

Gaskell: this *is* the romantic part

Remembering Elizabeth Gaskell, who died on this day 1865.

Made in Manchester: Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-65). Her wide-ranging work is valued for its social history, including first-hand accounts of Manchester’s poor, as well as its literary qualities. Much of what she wrote was innovatory or controversial. 1/5

Elizabeth Gaskell the orphan-killing GOAT. The Jordan to Dickens Magic.
rezekjoe.bsky.social Joseph Rezek @rezekjoe.bsky.social · Aug 29
When you begin a chapter in Dickens and you can tell he’s going to kill an orphan, is that the same pleasure for Victorians as when u are watching the latest Jurassic Park movie and you know the T-Rex will eat somebody? Like it’s the pleasure of the familiar motions of a beloved genre? lol

Mrs. Gaskell: radical, rabble-rouser, trade union suggester, social agitator and writer of works "too exciting for children."
simonjones.bsky.social Simon Jones @simonjones.bsky.social · May 10
My love for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel 'Mary Barton' only increased when I discovered that the London County Council had banned it from schools because of its depiction of trade unionism and riots. (Liverpool Daily Post, #OTD 10 May 1907)
Newspaper extract from Liverpool Daily Post 10 May 1907 p. 10: 'MRS. GASKELL BANNED. "MARY BARTON" AS A SCHOOL LOOK. "Mary Barton" has been taken off the list of school library books by the London Education Committee by fourteen votes to ten. The counte in the indictment of the book are that it is not fit for young children, that the descriptions of the riots in connection with the mill disputes are too exciting for children, that it suggests trade unionism, and that it has references to immorality. A lady member of the committee deciared that she would not allow her daughters to read the book, while others "felt that it is wrong to put saci pictures before children." The book, however, was defended by the Rev. Stewart Headlam, who thought children who had to load the lives of working people's children were the better for reading in beautiful language about the things with which they are, whether we liko it or not, very familiar.'

happy bday English writer Elizabeth Gaskell, b.1810.

“Loyalty and obedience to wisdom and justice are fine; but it is still finer to defy arbitrary power, unjustly and cruelly used--not on behalf of ourselves, but on behalf of others more helpless.”
