I can't get enough of this season 😍
Trees surrounding a pond on a bright autumn day. The sky is an intense blue with a perfect smattering of clouds. The tree leaves are shades of orange, yellow, and green. And the pond is reflecting it all.

How Important Was Elizabeth Gaskell in the Development of Victorian Literature?

Although her works fell out of favor for many decades, she now has a reputation for being one of the most important figures of the Victorian era.

www.thecollector.com/elizabeth-ga...

#books #literature
Portrait of Elizabeth Gaskell by George Richmond (1851). Elizabeth Gaskell is depicted in a three-quarter view, turned slightly to one side. Her posture is calm and composed, with a sense of quiet dignity. Her expression is serene and thoughtful, with a gentle gaze and soft smile. Gaskell wears a modest dark dress, likely with lace trim and a shawl or ribbon, reflecting her middle-class status and the understated fashion of the time. Her hair is parted in the center and smoothed back, styled in a simple, elegant arrangement typical of the mid-19th century.
