À propos de ce contenu audio

 Elizabeth Gaskells enchanting tales of Cranford are often linked to her childhood in Knutsford, a quaint town in Cheshire, where she spent time in her youth. This connection is emphasized in her 1849 essay, The Last Generation in England, where she fondly recalls the town in which I once resided. It’s clear that Knutsford served as the inspiration for Cranford. In 1851, while crafting Cranford, Gaskell also penned a novella titled Mr. Harrisons Confessions, which explores the life of a country doctor in a small provincial town—likely modeled after Knutsford, a place she cherished. The narrative centers on the arrival of a young doctor and the efforts of the towns women to define his position in society and, of course, to find him a suitable wife. Often seen as a prequel to Cranford, this story, along with Gaskell’s other works like My Lady Ludlow and Cranford, inspired the BBCs 2007 television series adaptation.
