"Further Letters of Mrs. Gaskell continues the project of publishing the correspondence of one of the most interesting nineteenth-century novelists." "The reputation of Elizabeth Gaskell is undergoing a renaissance as we enter the new millennium. The variety of her work and the range of her acquaintance make her one of the most engaging literary figures of her century. The original Pollard and Chapple edition of the letters (reprinted by Manchester University Press in 1997) established her correspondence as an important source for scholars of Victorian literature and culture. This new collection illustrates once more the richness and diversity of her involvement in a remarkable range of social and literary activities." "The correspondents in this volume, from all periods of her life, include such figures as Florence Nightingale, Harriet Martineau, John Ruskin, D.G. Rossetti, George Smith, Eliza Fox, Jacob Grimm and Louis Hachette. Of the two hundred and seventy letters included in this volume only about forty have been previously published."--BOOK JACKET.
