ISBN: 081391390X ¶ Interesting biography of Mrs Gaskell, the Victorian novelist which argues that the traditional view of her as the Victorian Ideal of Womanhood personified is not accurate and that she harboured an inner self which was a free spirit and born to be a 'gypsy bachelor'. The book shows how Gaskell used her fiction to exorcise her demons.
