The George Eliot Fellowship

Gaskell & Eliot

Gaskell & Eliot

Two giants of Victorian Literature, Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot, were very different in almost every way.

George Eliot was private and intellectual, while Elizabeth was outgoing, gossipy and deeply shocked by the scandal of her fellow writer’s personal life. How did these differences affect their work? How did they approach similar themes such as provincial life, women’s education, humorous characters and the inner life?

In partnership with The Gaskell Society as part of their 'Wives and Daughters' season Dr Diane Duffy and Professor Ruth Livesey will take a closer look at George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell and their literary masterpieces.
