While Gaskell is recognised as one of the major novelists of her time, the short stories that make up a large proportion of her published work have not yet received the critical attention they deserve. This study re-claims them as an indispensable part of her literary output that enables us to better contextualize and assess her achievement holistically as a highly-skilled woman of letters. The periodicals in which Gaskells shorter pieces were published offer a microcosm of nineteenth-century society, and Gaskell took full advantage of the medium to apply a consistent and barbed challenge to cultural and gendered constructs of roles and social behaviour. Although her eminently readable prose still flows easily in her short stories, it is less likely to elide the sharp corners of domestic violence, the disabling experiences of women, the pain of death and loss, and the complications of family life. Carolyn Lambert is the author of The Meanings of Home in Elizabeth Gaskells Fiction (2013), co-editor with Marion Shaw of For Better, For Worse: Marriage in Victorian Novels by Women (2018) and the author of Frances Trollope (2020). 001439247 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001439247 60010 $$aGaskell, Elizabeth Cleghorn,$$d1810-1865$$xCriticism and interpretation. 001439247 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001439247 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439247 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030797058 001439247 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z303079704X$$z9783030797041$$w(OCoLC)1252961504 001439247 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLAMBERT, CAROLYN.$$tELIZABETH GASKELLS SMALLER STORIES.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2021$$z303079704X$$w(OCoLC)1252961504 001439247 852__ $$bebk 001439247 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-79705-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439247 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439247$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439247 980__ $$aBIB 001439247 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439247 982__ $$aEbook 001439247 983__ $$aOnline 001439247 994__ $$a92$$bISE
