Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, née Stevenson (September 29, 1810 - November 12, 1865), often known simply as Mrs. Gaskell, was a Victorian era English novelist and short story writer. Her novels provide a detailed portrait of the lives of many social strata, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians, as well as to literature lovers.
