'Long overdue, this edition of the writings of Elizabeth Gaskell is the first to appear in almost a century... [it] surpasses previous collections by including miscellaneous writings as well as novels, novellas, and short stories. All the material has been reedited and excellent explanatory notes and up-to-date bibliographies of Gaskell studies add to the value... Every research library must own this collection, and other libraries would do well to add these well-made and well-edited volumes to their 19th-century British literature collections.

All readers; all levels'- CHOICE'Beautifully printed, produced in fine bindings on long-lasting paper...in the twenty-first century Elizabeth Gaskell's writing can receive the kind of attention that it deserves'- Heather Glen, The Times Literary Supplement'enormously valuable'- Carolyne Van Der Meer, Bronte Studies
