Great Resouce!,
By A.M. (Colorado, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Elizabeth Gaskell (Cambridge Companions to Literature) (Paperback)
This collection of criticism on Elizabeth Gaskell is a great resource for anyone interested in the Victorian novelist. I purchased the Cambridge Companion to consult while working on my master's thesis on Gaskell, and although I only cited a few of these essays in my final thesis, the book proved very informative. It's a great place to start when researching any aspect of Gaskell or her work, especially as the critics included in this anthology are all Gaskell experts.Hopefully this book will end up in most college and university libraries to encourage the continued study of Gaskell!
