Introduction A charming literary classic, by Elizabeth Gaskill, that offers a glimpse into country life in a little English village in the middle of the nineteenth century. Sneak Peak ‘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 parties, or he is accounted for by being with his regiment, his hip, 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’ Synopsis Elizabeth Gaskell's best-known work, Cranford, is a satirical portrayal of a nineteenth-century, Victorian English village ruled by a group of affluent but humbly situated ladies. The daughters of the late rector, Miss Deborah Jenkyns and Miss Matty, are at the center of this gossip-fueled community, which thrives on cooperation. But financial collapse, fictitious break-ins, catastrophic mishaps, and the reappearance of long-lost relatives all pose persistent threats to household tranquility.
