Description

Explore the complex evolution of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford in this detailed study from the Ashgate Studies in Publishing History series. Thomas Recchio tracks the journey of this literary work from its original serialization in Dickens's Household Words between 1851 and 1853 through its many later editions and adaptations. This book examines how the text has been used to support concepts of nation and national identity. By mapping the nineteenth-century reception of Cranford in both Britain and the United States, Recchio provides a clear look at its cultural impact. The research covers a wide range of formats, including illustrated English editions from 1864, US re-publications, and school editions used in the early twentieth century. Whether you are studying literary theory, publishing history, or Victorian literature, this volume offers a deep look into how dramatic adaptations and various print formats shaped the legacy of one of Gaskell's most famous works.
