Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell begins with an introduction discussing the occupants of the rural English village named Cranford. Cranford is filled with widows, wives of absent business or military men, and spinsters.
The residents of Cranford are regimented aristocrats who "practice
'elegant economy.'" The ladies go calling only during prescribed times,
serve one another inexpensive foods, pretend not to notice each other's
poverty, and go to bed early. The narrator is a young woman with familial ties
to Miss Jenkyns and Miss Matty who are two spinsters who have lived in Cranford
their entire lives.

Elizabeth Gaskell's witty, episodic novel examines a society on the cusp, a beautifully observed, exquisitely crafted slice of 19th century English provincial life.
The novelist Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is now best-known as the author of Cranford and North and South, and the biographer of her friend Charlotte Brontë. Her greatest books were written in reaction to the industrialization of Manchester, England, where she lived for much of her life. She was born in Chelsea in London 1810, the daughter of William Stevenson and Elizabeth Holland. After her mother died in 1811, she was brought up by her aunt, Hannah Lumb, in Knutsford, Cheshire.
