Overview
In Mary Barton, Ruth, Sylvia's Lovers, and Wives and Daughters, Mrs Gaskell was established as Elizabeth Gaskell, not a provincial one-book Jane Austen, but a major author and engaging personality. To end, I stress again not only John's personality, but also his crucial work in altering the perception of Gaskell, by that edition of the letters, and also by a number of Gaskell-related books, including biography, further letters, and diaries. In 1996, John, now Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Hull, published Private Voices, containing Elizabeth Gaskell's diary for three years of Marianne's life and a similar diary of Sophia Holland's - both are rare glimpses of Victorian childhood. 1997 saw the publication of Elizabeth Gaskell: The Early Years, an in-depth study of 500-plus pages which covered Gaskell's life up to her marriage.
