In the mid-19th century, two titans of English literature – Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot – set out to explore the tension between personal yearning and family duty. But while their novels shared a common rural landscape, the women themselves couldn’t have been more different. Book Now George Eliot was private and intellectual, while Elizabeth was outgoing, gossipy and deeply shocked by the scandal of her fellow writer’s personal life. Elizabeth Gaskell’s The Moorland Cottage introduced the quiet grief of Mrs Browne and her children, Edward and Maggie.
