Description

Explore the deep connection between textiles and literature in this Routledge study. Elizabeth Gaskell's writings contain rich references to various fabrics, including calicoes, chintzes, and fine-point lace. This volume moves beyond simple motifs to examine how these materials function as complex symbols within her work. By looking at these tropes through a metonymic lens, the book reveals the massive socio-economic shifts caused by industrialization, urbanization, and the expansion of empire. Readers will find a detailed examination of how technological innovations and production changes during this period are reflected in the material evidence of Gaskell's prose. This text provides a unique look at the evolution of Manchester and the wider nineteenth-century literary landscape through the study of cloth and production.
