ââI'll not listen to reason,â 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."â
First published in serial format in a magazine, Gaskellâs 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, Gaskellâs best-loved work affectionately comments on the role of women in society at that time and the changing face of the Victorian world.
