Cranford : Roman aus einer englischen Kleinstadt
This portrait of life in a quiet English country town in the mid-nineteenth century follows the adventures of Miss Matty and Miss Deborah, two middle-aged spinster sisters living in reduced circumstances.
Cranford. Introduction by David Ascoli. [With a portrait.]
Cranford : With a pref. by Anne Thackeray Ritchie. Illustr. by Hugh Thomson
The formidable Miss Deborah Jenkyns and the kindly Miss Matty live in a village where women rule and men usually tend to get in the way. Their days revolve around card games, tea, thriftiness, friendship and an endless appetite for scandal (from the alarming sight of a cow in flannel pyjamas to the shocking news of the titled lady who marries a surgeon). But, like it or not, change is coming into their world--whether it is the new ideas of Captain Brown, a bank collapse, rumours of burglars or the unexpected return of someone from the past.
This classic work from Elizabth Gaskell has been specially formatted for today's e-readers. This excellent tale is set in a small rural town, inhabited largely by women - a community that runs on co-operation and gossip. The central characters are the daughters of the former rector: Miss Deborah Jenkyns and her sister Miss Matty. In the saga, domestic peace is constantly threatened by financial disaster, burglaries (or are they?), tragic accidents, and the re-apparance of long-lost relatives.
A "story of quiet life in a secluded English village among well-bred and sheltered women of limited opportunities. Supremely typical of the literature chronicling small-community life. The original of Cranford is the peaceful village of Knutsford in Cheshire England." Pratt alcove.
Story of a little group of ladies of good birth but small income who constituted society in an English village in the mid-1800s, telling of local feuds, friendships, visits, and romances.

Il paese delle nobili signore, Cranford
Gaskell expresses the themes of social change and feminine control by depicting the inhabitants of a small English village called Cranford, where women dominate the social sphere and men are seen only rarely to disturb the daily life of the town. Also included is Gaskell's follow-up novella "Cousin Phillis," about a fleeting love affair in a similar rural town landscape.
Cranford, a tale, by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
Cranford is the best-known novel of the 19th century English writer Elizabeth Gaskell. It was first published in 1851 as a serial in the magazine Household Words, which was edited by Charles Dickens.-- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cranford
Cranford : by Mrs. Gaskell ; with a preface by Anne Thackeray Ritchie and illustrations by Hugh Thomson
In the village of Cranford, decorum is maintained at all times. Despite their poverty, the ladies are never vulgar about money (or their lack of it), and always follow the rules of propriety. But this discretion and gentility does not keep away tragedy; and when the worst happens, the Amazons of Cranford show the true strength of their honest affections.
Cranford/Cousin Phillis
The novel Cranford grew out of a short story (now the first two chapters) and it reads like a series of episodes in the fictional town of Cranford. The central characters are Mary Smith and her friends, the spinster sisters Miss Matty and Miss Deborah. It is a quaint, comedic ode to small town life, and remains Gaskell's most famous work.

Cranford : a village tale
Cranford [and] Cousin Phillis
Cranford : the cage at Cranford : The moorland cottage
ELIZABETH CLEGHORN GASKELL (1810 bis 1865) wurde als Tochter eines ehemaligen unitarischen Geistlichen in Chelsea, einem Vorort von London, geboren. Infolge des frühen Todes der Mutter wurde das Kind in die Obhut von Verwandten gegeben und in Knutsford, Cheshire, in der Nähe von Manchester, von ältlichen Tanten aufgezogen. In der ländlichen Stille und Abgeschiedenheit von Knutsford und Sandlebridge, in die, so scheint es, noch kein Hauch der aufgeregten Zeit gedrungen war, lernte sie den Hintergrund, die Atmosphäre und die Charaktere für ihre ländlichen Idyllen, insbesondere für "Cranford" kennen. Hier wurde der Grundstein für ihre Liebe zur englischen Kleinstadt, zur unberührten Natur und zu den einfachen Menschen gelegt. "Cranford", im Jahre 1853 in Buchform veröffentlicht, ist kein Roman im eigentlichen Sinne des Wortes. Es gibt weder Helden noch eine Fabel. Wir haben es vielmehr mit einer Folge von teilweise abgeschlossenen Episoden zu tun. Eine Mischung von Humor, Sentimentalität und Tragik durchzieht das Buch. Diese Miniaturmalerei einer zurückgebliebenen Kleinstadt und ihrer schrulligen Bewohner erinnert an ein Spitzweg-Gemälde, an ein Idyll, das nicht frei ist von Pathos.

Cranford ; and Mary Barton
"Elizabeth Langland's edition of Cranford is likely to introduce a new generation of readers to the pleasures of Gaskell's most delightful but least immediately appreciated novel. By including in her appendices of historical materials choice selections from conduct books and writings on political and domestic economy, as well as in her informed, accessible introduction, Langland demonstrates that, appearances aside, the world of Cranford is firmly located in its Victorian context and addresses, however obliquely, some of the most intractable problems of its age--and of ours."Eileen Gillooly, Columbia University.

Cranford, a novel
Cranford, in 1842, is a market town in northwest England. It is a place governed by etiquette, custom and above all, an intricate network of ladies. It seems that life has always been conducted according to their social rules. For spinsters Deborah Jenkyns, the arbiter of correctness, and Matty, her demurring sister, the town is a hub of intrigue. Handsome new doctor Frank Harrison has arrived from London; a retired Captain and his daughters move in across the street and preparations for Lady Ludlow's garden party are underway. The town has some secrets which are about to be revealed. But news comes that shakes the town, a railway line from Manchester is coming to Cranford.

Cranford : [and] Cousin Phillis
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. ''I'll not listen to reason,' she said, now in full possession of her voice, which had been rather choked with sobbing. "Reason always means what someone else has got to say."' First published in serial format in a magazine, Gaskell's Cranford is a delightfully light-hearted series of stories about early Victorian life in a country village. Following the lives of two spinster sisters, Miss Matty and Miss Deborah as they gossip about the inconsequential goings-on of the community around them, Gaskell's best-loved work affectionately comments on the role of women in society at that time and the changing face of the Victorian world.
This Broadview Edition provides an assortment of historical materials to put the novel in context, including Gaskell's letters from the period of the novel's writing, excerpts from texts read by the characters, illustrations from the novel and from contemporary periodicals, and other Victorian writings on industrialization, etiquette, and domestic life. --Book Jacket.

After a long absence, the young Mary Smith has returned to Cranford, that cosy sphere of delicate gentility and elegant economy. From the newly-arrived half-pay Captain Brown (so considerate he blacks his own boots to save the maid-servant) to Miss Betsy Barker (so devoted to her Alderney cow she clothes her in warm flannel drawers), the Cranford denizens' quirks and foibles provide both amusement and comfort to Mary as she settles into the rhythms of village life. But as she absorbs and adapts to the Cranford philosophy, it seems that they may also have much to learn from her...

A man ... is so in the way in the house!'A vivid and affectionate portrait of a provincial town in early Victorian England, Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford describes a community dominated by its independent and refined women. Undaunted by poverty, but dismayed by changes brought by the railway and by new commercial practices, the ladies of Cranford respond to disruption with both suspicion and courage. Miss Matty and her sister Deborah uphold standards and survive personal tragedy and everyday dramas; innovation may bring loss, but it also brings growth, and welcome freedoms. Cranford suggests tha.

Elizabeth Gaskell's second published story, originally contributed to Household Words from 1851-3 in a series of papers, and republished in 1853 under the collective title Cranford. This witty and poignant comedy of early Victorian life in a country town richly deserves its position as a great 19th Century classic.

Cranford, like many of Gaskell's works, was originally published as a serial. It is one of her more famous novels despite the fact that it lacks a single continuous plot. Rather, it is a series of vignettes in the lives of Mary Smith and her friends in the fictional town of Cranford, which is modeled after Knutsford in Cheshire.

Cranford. Introduction by Frank Swinnerton
"Cranford" depicts the lives and preoccupations of the inhabitants of a small village - their petty snobberies and appetite for gossip, and their loyal support for each other in times of need. The village is dominated by women, from the kindly spinster Miss Matty, living in genteel poverty with her redoubtable sister, to Lady Glenmire, who shocks everyone by marrying the doctor. When men do appear, such as 'modern' Captain Brown or Matty's suitor from the past, they bring disruption and excitement to the everyday life of Cranford. This volume includes the novella "Cousin Phillis", which depicts a fleeting love affair in a rural community at a time when old values are being supplanted by the new.

Elizabeth Gaskell's episodic second novel, sometimes dismissed as nostalgically "charming," is now considered by many critics to be her most sophisticated work. The country town of Cranford is home to a group of women, affectionately called "Amazons" by the narrator, whose seemingly uneventful lives are full of conflicts, failures, and unexpected connections. A rich commentary on Victorian culture by one of its most astute observers, Cranford owes its enduring popularity to the complex pleasures it offers the reader.

A lively and up-to-date introduction by Charlotte Mitchell discusses the originality and subtlety of the book's treatment of women's experience. - Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses, above a certain rent, are women.'In this witty and poignant comedy of early-Victorian life in a country town, Elizabeth Gaskell describes the uneventful lives of the lady-like inhabitants so as to offer an ironic commentary on the diverse experiences of men and women.
What was true of Cranford society then is also true of many villages today. It is not so much genteel poverty, but the snobbery and intense but restricted interest in the neighbour's affairs.

"In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses above a certain rent are women. If a married couple come to settle in the town, somehow the gentleman disappears; he is either fairly frightened to death by being the only man in the Cranford evening parties, or he is accounted for by being with his regiment, his ship, or closely engaged in business all the week in the great neighbouring commercial town of Drumble, distant only twenty miles on a railroad. In short, whatever does become of the gentlemen, they are not at Cranford."--Publisher description (http://www.kessinger.net/searchresults-orderthebook.php?ISBN=1419114387).
