Gaskell Elizabeth - Tales Of Mystery & The Macabre - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. In the great mirror opposite I saw myself and right behind another wicked fearful self so like me my soul seemed to quiver within me as though not knowing to which similitude of body it belonged'. Elizabeth Gaskell is better known today for her pioneering social novels such as Mary Barton (1848) but she also wrote some fascinating tales of the supernatural and the macabre which are collected here in this volume. The real charm of this dark anthology is its variety. Unlike so many writers of this kind of material Gaskell allows the story to fit the style rather than the other way around and as result there is a charming freshness to each tale. This remarkable author uses different voices tones and topics to engage her readers and as you turn from one story to the next you cannot be quite sure what to expect.
