Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. Reprint. Introduction by David Ascoli. In this novel of the early 19th century is described, with a just blend of humour and pathos, life in a quite Cheshire village. Gentility is the keynote of Cranford, and the ladies practise "elegant economy" and a quaint social decorum. We have sketches of 19th century Cranford society; of the tragedy of the genial but noisy Captain Brown; of Miss Matty's unhappy romance; of the panic caused by a succession of purely fictitious robberies; of the flutter due to the visit of Lady Glemire, the widow of a Scottish baron. The episodes, however, are of secondary importance to the characters and customs of the day, delightfully presented. Wear and tear to D/J.…

With publisher's advertisement on front paste-down, 2pp catalogue at end and rear endpaper advertisements. Gaskell's standard 'life' was first published as two volumes in 1857; the subsequent controversy resulted in the work's through revision for the third edition later in the same year.
