  • Hungering at Hope Farm in Elizabeth Gaskell's Cousin Phillis John
    “As a child looks at a cake”: Hungering at Hope Farm in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cousin Phillis John Barton, whose cravings for food are wrought up “almost to an animal pitch of ravenousness,” is the first of many Gaskell characters to be visited, and sometimes convulsed, by hunger pangs. Cousin Phillis (1863-4) begins with the narrator’s “pride and satisfaction” at having taken lodgings above a pastry-cook’s shop – but it develops hunger as a “predominant feeling” both for him, of a Sunday evening, and for Phillis herself, most irrecoverably. Phillis’s unsatisfied longing is the emotion which the story ends by exploring. It connects her with Gaskell’s earlier heroines, marking her as a mute inglorious Charlotte Brontë and as a Cheshire cousin of the Margaret who “thought and wished too much” in North and South. Perhaps, however, Phillis is a displaced person not just as to county but as to genre. Her affinities, and the story’s affinities, are as much with the poems of Tennyson as with the fiction that Gaskell already had to her name. What is different about the engagement with Tennyson here is that it moves beyond Gaskell’s previous passing interest in projecting Mary Barton as Mariana (when her cry “was ever the old moan of the Moated Grange”), or in adding a heroine called Ruth to the list of the Lady of Shalott’s descendants in the Victorian novel. In the latter part of 1859 Gaskell discovers a Tennyson fit for the 1860s, and it is at his Idylls of the King that she then says she has been looking “as a child looks at a cake.” This paper will consider her own hungry absorption into Cousin Phillis of one of the Idylls which so tantalised her on that groaning shelf of books, “Lancelot and Elaine.” .

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'.

Traditional Modes of Progress....................................... 11 IV. Historical Transmission Through Literature.................. 14 V. 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.

  • Elizabeth Gaskell Was Born in Chelsea, London
    Sermon: Elizabeth Gaskell was born in Chelsea, London. Her father was William Stephenson who had intended on going into the Dissenting Ministry but after some preaching as a Unitarian in the Manchester area he decided that a paid ministry was wrong. (I wonder if decisions like this had any effect on the generally low stipends that our ministers receive.) He served for a short time as a minister in Failsworth before turning to farming (unsuccessfully) and then moved to London where he obtained a position as keeper of records in the Treasury. Elizabeth's mother, also Elizabeth, came from a large family and had family connections with the Darwins, Turners, and the Wedgewoods, great intellectuals of the day. Unfortunately she died when Elizabeth was only one and her older brother was 13. Her father sent her to live with her aunt in Cheshire. Her father remarried when she was four but she continued to spend more time with her aunt than her father, who died in 1829. Elizabeth studied briefly at a school in Stratford-upon-Avon and it is believed that she was impressed by the beautiful countryside and this later provided her with inspiration when writing some of her books. In 1832 she married William Gaskell, the junior Unitarian minister at Manchester's Cross Street Chapel. They eventually had 5 children, their only son sadly died in infancy of scarlet fever and one daughter was stillborn. Throughout her marriage Elizabeth made her home a vital centre, where William carried out his religious and educational duties, where Sunday Schools met and where famous people were welcomed -- raising her children amidst this environment.

  • Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South Televised
    Taking bearings: Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South televised MARGARET HARRIS When North and South appeared in two volumes in 1855, its title page carried no author’s name. The novel was described as being ‘By the author of “Mary Barton,” “Ruth,” “Cranford,” &c.’, much as it had been on its first appearance as a serial in Dickens’s weekly Household Words between 2 September 1854 and 27 January 1855. Yet Elizabeth Gaskell’s authorship was no secret: while some, like the anonymous Athenaeum reviewer, con- tinued to refer to ‘the Author’, most used her name, the Leader reviewer for instance scrupulously identifying her as ‘Mrs. Gaskell, if not a Manchester lady, a settler therein’.1 The designation ‘Mrs Gaskell’ has been damning. This form of address, emphasising her (willingly embraced) roles as wife and mother, was reinforced over time as literary historians based her reputa- tion on the ‘charming’ Cranford, allowing her ability in delineating the restricted sphere of domesticity, but denying her range. Lord David Cecil is exemplary: in his judgement, she is a domestic novelist with real facility in presenting feeling, while ‘As for the industrial novels, it “would have been impossible for her if she tried, to have found a subject less suited to her talents”’.2 It would be anachronistic now to embark on a defence of Gaskell against Cecil. Jenny Uglow’s description of her as ‘an original, passionate and sometimes rather strange writer’3 states an agreed late-twentieth century position consequent on Gaskell’s instatement as an industrial novelist and ‘social explorer’4 by Raymond Williams, John Lucas, and others from the late 1950s.5 It is the transgressive and confronting Gaskell that viewers encounter in Sandy Welch’s script and Brian Percival’s direction of the 2004 BBC-TV version of North and South, her fourth novel.

Yayınevi: Mint Editions Yayın Tarihi: 2021-02-09 ISBN: 9781513276410. Sylvia’s Lovers – Elizabeth Gaskell’s anti-romantic novel. Elizabeth Gaskell’s Sylvia’s Lovers begins in a lively, upbeat tone; its first volume is undoubtedly delightful and might, in the first instance, lead a reader to assume that the novel is meant to be primarily a romantic story. However, as you read on through the “gathering shadows” of the second volume, and the unrestrained melodrama and improbable coincidences of the third, the novel concludes as something along the lines of a love story gone wrong. It’s Monkshaven during the French Revolutionary Wars; press gangs are seizing the crews of returning whalers to force into the Navy. Sylvia’s imagination has been fired by Kinraid’s heroics in trying to protect his shipmates by having a shoot out with one of these gangs, during which he’s killed two of its members, only escaping trial through being “kicked aside and left for dead” himself.

  • Artwork of the Month April 2020 'Nameless and Friendless' by Emily Mary Osborn
    Artwork of the Month April 2020 ‘Nameless and Friendless’ by Emily Mary Osborn (1828-1925) Small Version of ‘Nameless and Friendless’; the larger version in Tate Britain was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1857; the York version acquired 1997 with Art Fund support and a grant of £3000 from the Friends. Emily Mary Osborn (1828-1925) The origin of York Art Gallery’s collection lies in the gift in 1882 of 126 nineteenth-century (that is, at the time modern) paintings by the eccentric collector John Burton, who gives his name to the Burton Gallery; the gift included such Victorian favourites as Edward Matthew Ward’s ‘Hogarth’s Studio in 1739’. The Victorian period saw a dramatic increase in the number of registered women fine artists, from fewer than 300 in the census of 1841 to 3,700 in 1901 (for male artists the numbers are 4000 and nearly 14,000). Here Dorothy Nott, a former Chair of the Friends whose PhD at the University of York was on the work of the distinguished battle painter Elizabeth Thompson, Lady Butler (who incidentally narrowly missed by two votes becoming the first elected female Associate Member of the Royal Academy) writes about a remarkable small painting by a woman artist of the period in the Gallery’s collection. In 1844, when Sarah Stickney Ellis published her manual The Family Monitor and Domestic Guide, she advised her women readers not to excel at any one activity. Instead, she argued for a tolerable standard in a wide range of accomplishments. Her reasons were twofold, first, to ensure at least a basic knowledge of a variety of topics so as to facilitate social intercourse and, secondly, to prevent women from posing a threat to their male counterparts.

  • Ressentiment in Gaskelvs Ruth
    3 Under Cover: Sympathy and Ressentiment in GaskelVs Ruth Under the cover of sympathy with the dismissed labourers, Mr. Preston indulged his own private pique very pleasantly. — Elizabeth Gaskell, Wives and Daughters Elizabeth Gaskell’s goal in Ruth (1853) was to elicit sympathy for the figure of the fallen woman by means of the detailed representation of an individual case.Yet as many readers have noted, the novel takes an am- bivalent approach to the category and the character with which it is most concerned. Critical of the social barriers that would place Ruth outside respectable society, Gaskell at the same time devised a heroine who is nat- urally good— indeed, one whose innocence borders on (and is figured as) an “unconsciousness” of the social norms she violates. R uth’s claim on readerly sympathy thus seems to derive less from a critique of the idea of fallenness than from her status as not truly fallen. And yet, as if doubting her heroine’s virtue, Gaskell requires Ruth to redeem herself. The novel remains unable to reconcile her supposed innocence with her deviation from it, and— as if to escape all the confusion— she dies at its end.1 1 For a useful review of Ruth criticism, see Elizabeth Helsinger, Robin Sheets, and William Veeder, eds., The Woman Question (Chicago: University o f Chicago Press, 1983), 77 78 Fear of Falling Criticism of the novel has, understandably, been unable to leave the sub- ject of the fallen woman behind. But in addition to being concerned with the fate of fallen women, Ruth expresses Gaskell s general interest in sym- pathy as a solution to divisive social problems; in Mary Barton and North and South, for instance, individual sympathy is her solution to class conflict.

Através de uma abordagem multidisciplinar filiada nos Estudos Culturais este estudo tem como objetivo dar um contributo para a análise das transformações da cultura e da sociedade assim como fornecer um enquadramento para estudar conceitos como ideologia, representação, identidade e poder. Criada no contexto de consolidação do Estado-nação e sob o conceito vitoriano de museu como motor de progresso social, a Tate Gallery, abriu em Millbank, Londres em 1897 com o nome National Gallery of British Art para alojar as quase 70 obras de arte britânica doadas por Henry Tate ao Estado.
