À propos de ce contenu audio
 Step into the charming world of Cranford, a quaint market town where a group of respectable ladies navigates the intricacies of life, love, and societal change. As they uncover secrets, share gossip, and confront the arrival of new residents and innovations, the humor and heart of Victorian society come to life. Originally published in episodes between 1851 and 1853 in Charles Dickens’ Journal Household Words, this delightful tale is accompanied by a short sequel, The Cage at Cranford, written a decade later and featured in All the Year Round. In a heartfelt letter to Mrs. Gaskell, Charlotte Brontë expressed how reading Cranford felt “as pleasant as a quiet chat.” Join us for this genteel yet witty exploration of life in a time gone by, distinctly different from Gaskells more intense works like Mary Barton or North and South.

    Cranford (version 2) by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell.

    Cranford is set in a small market town populated largely by a number of respectable ladies. It tells of their secrets and foibles, their gossip and their romances as they face the challenges of dealing with new inhabitants to their society and innovations to their settled existence. It was first published between 1851 and 1853 as episodes in Charles Dickens’ Journal Household Words. In a letter to Mrs. Gaskell, Charlotte Bronte wrote: “Thank you for your letter, it was as pleasant as a quiet chat, as welcome as spring showers, as reviving as a friend’s visit; in short, it was very like a page of Cranford.”... Cranford is a genteel and humorous look at Victorian society by Elizabeth Gaskell, and is quite a change from her more gritty novels like Mary Barton or North and South.
