Where research pertaining to the thesis was undertaken collaboratively, the nature and extent of my individual contribution has been made explicit. Signed Date Abstract This thesis demonstrates the ways in which Elizabeth Gaskell and Margaret Oliphant drew upon their domestic identities as wives and mothers to write in radical, yet subtle, ways which had the potential to educate and inform their young female readership. While in the nineteenth century the domestic space was viewed as the rightful place for women, I show how both Gaskell and Oliphant expanded this idea to demonstrate within their novels and short stories the importance of what I term an 'extended domesticity'.

Concluding Remarks....................................................... 18 VI. Works Cited...................................................................... 20 2 Introduction and Thesis Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford was first published between 1851 and 1853 as a series of episodic stories in Household Words under the the editorship of Charles Dickens; it wasn't until later that Cranford was published in single volume book form. Essentially, Cranford is a collection of stories about a group of elderly single Victorian ladies and the society in which they live. As described in its opening sentence, ”In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses, above certain rent, are women” (1). Cranford is portrayed through the eyes of the first person narrator, Mary Smith, an unmarried woman from Drumble who visits Cranford occasionally to stay with the Misses Deborah and Matilda Jenkyns. Through Mary's observations the reader becomes acquainted with society at Cranford as well as Cranfordian tradition and ways of life. Gaskell's creation of Cranford was based on her own experiences growing up in the small English town of Knutsford. She made two attempts previous to Cranford to document small town life based on her Knutsford experiences: the first a nonfiction piece titled ”The Last Generation” (1849) that captured her personal memories in a kind of historical preservation, the second was a fictional piece,”Mr.

The purpose of these organisations was, in part, to demonstrate that the influx of Eastern European Jewish immigrants was not a burden on Britain as a whole. In other words the aim was to show that Jews were prepared to care for their own people, financially and morally. Much has been written about the larger organisations but little, if anything, is recorded about some of the smaller societies which usually pursued a narrow and defined purpose.

  • The Gothic As Mass Hysteria and the Threat of the Foreign Other in Lois
    The Gothic as Mass Hysteria: the Threat of the Foreign Other in Gaskell’s Lois the Witch Irina Raluca CIOBANU* Key-words: Lois the Witch, female Gothic, mass hysteria, social and religious discourse Born into a Unitarian family and married to a Unitarian minister, author of several social novels, Elizabeth Gaskell, the Victorian “Sheherezade” in Dickens’ words, was particularly appreciated during her lifetime for her inborn storytelling talent that she equally exploited in her realist and Gothic shorter fiction (short stories or novellas). Her Unitarian liberal education and outlook determined her to take position against the dangers of religious fanaticism, especially since the religious confession she belonged to, in spite of its 19th century strength and status, had often been the subject of various attacks, mainly directed to the Unitarians rejection of the holy trinity1. Gaskell’s own position towards both Unitarianism and Anglicanism that she had been fascinated with2 from a young age speak for her lack of sectarian bias and tolerant religious attitude, which is essentially Christian in approach and transgresses from both her novels and her shorter fiction. Which is more, as a Victorian female writer, Gaskell was always torn between the two discursive options women in general, and female authors in particular had access to: preaching or silencing. Her social novels, Mary Barton (1848), North and South (1856) and Ruth (1853), as well as Cranford (1853) play with both preaching and silencing, with what is said or taught to the audience and what remains unuttered, while her Gothic stories proved to be her chance to give up this frustrating game and develop techniques of displacing unpleasant truths into familiar figures and thus direct her criticism against them.
