"Elizabeth Gaskell and the Crime Short Story"
No full textThe chapter explores Gaskell's contribution to the development of a specific Victorian sub-genre: crime short fiction. Although critics have laid the focus on her Gothic paraphernalia and mystery elements, less attention has been paid to her use of crime elements and detective narrative strategies. As a well-known mid-Victorian novelist, who took an active part in her intellectual milieu, Gaskell was highly receptive to the generic experiments carried out by her contemporaries. While examining some Gaskell stories and tales that bear evidence of her experimentation with crime narration, the chapter shows that she gave an important contribution to the development of a form that would be 'canonised' and gain large popularity at the end of the century

Elizabeth Gaskell, ¿A Victorian stereotype?
No full textThe aim of this paper is to highlight the most interesting aspects, as well as the conclusions achieved by its author when writing her doctoral thesis. Thus, firstly, the figure of Elizabeth Gaskell will be analysed trying to see to what extent she herself adapted and adjusted to the standards established in the society of her time, considering the Victorian concept of how women should be and behave, their obligations and responsibilities. Subsequently, her novels will be revised attending to how Gaskell reflected Victorian society in them, as well as the criticism that arose around these works during the 19th, 20th and early 21st centuries.Con este trabajo, se pretenden compilar y resaltar aquellas cuestiones y conclusiones, que se consideran más interesantes, a las que la autora del mismo llegó al elaborar su tesis doctoral. Así, se va a presentar brevemente, en primer lugar, la figura de Elizabeth Gaskell en relación con la figura de mujer establecida en la época victoriana, tratando de ver hasta qué punto se adaptó y adecuó a los estándares establecidos en la sociedad de su momento, atendiendo para ello a la idea de mujer, sus obligaciones y responsabi-lidades, imperante en la Inglaterra del siglo xix. Posteriormente, se hará un repaso de sus novelas atendiendo al reflejo que Gaskell hizo en las mismas de la sociedad inglesa del momento, así como a la crítica surgida en torno a estas obras durante los siglos xix, xx y principios del xxi
Criticism of Victorian Gender Stereotypes in the Novels of E. C. Gaskell and G. Eliot
No full textThis article examines the difference between methods of gender stereotype criticism in the novels of E. Gaskell (“Wives and Daughters”) and G. Eliot (“The Mill on the Floss”). The research is based on gender theory and the literary history of bildungsroman, or the coming-of-age novel, especially its female variation as presented in the aforementioned novels. The author conveys an in-depth analysis of plot structure and the specifics of appointed genre. It is done to determine the alternate ways in which Gaskell and Eliot develop the idea of female ‘bildung’ in the novels and present the criticism of gender stereotypes which hinder that ‘bildung’. As a result, it is postulated that the major difference in the handling of the “hero — society” conflict in the novels is the reason for the different critical views of Eliot and Gaskell towards gender stereotypes of the Victorian era

Remediating Gaskell: "North and South" and its BBC Adaptation, 2004
No full textThis book offers a range of perspectives on Elizabeth Gaskell and adaptation. The contributors – Alan Shelston, Raffaella Antinucci, Thomas Recchio, Brenda McKay, Katherine Byrne, Patricia Marchesi, Marcia Marchesi and Loredana Salis – discuss the afterlives of Gaskell’s fiction, from the author as adaptor of her own work to the role of the BBC in re-inventing Gaskell’s narratives. The volume brings together a collection that tackles the remediation of Gaskell’s fiction from Gaskell’s own time to the 21st century, enabling her to join those authors, most prominently, Shakespeare, Austen and Dickens, who have received full-length book studies on adaptations of their work. The collection, as a whole, seems to confirm the notion that since the inception of film, the number of adaptations of an author’s work equates to the writer’s canonical status. No doubt, this book will prompt many more investigations into the adaptability of Elizabeth Gaskell’s fiction
