With a preface by Anne Thackeray Ritchie and illustrations by Hugh Thomson. London: Macmillan and Co. 1935. Later Hugh Thomson illustrated edition. Octavo 7 1/16 x 4 3/4 inches; 180 x 120 mm.

A very fine example. The front cover illustration is taken from the text illustration on page 240 and depicts Mary Smith the narrator posting a letter to Miss Matty "I dropped it in the post on my way home and then for a minute I stood looking at the wooden pane with a gaping slit which divided me from the letter." Cranford which originally appeared as a serial in Charles Dickens' magazine Household Words 1851-53 and saw its first publication in book form in 1853 is "a series of linked sketches of life among the ladies of a quiet country village in the 1830s.The greatest charm of Cranford which has kept it unfailingly popular is its amused but loving portrait of the old-fashioned customs and 'elegant economy' of a delicately observed group of middle-aged figures in a landscape" Oxford Companion to English Literature. Mrs. Elizabeth Gaskell 1810-1865 a "strong and independent-minded woman" The Feminist Companion to Literature was an important proto-Feminist writer who often tackled unorthodox subjects in her novels. Cranford for example concerns a community of spinsters who glory in their freedom from male interference. Mrs. Gaskell was "'the most popular with small question the most powerful and finished female novelist of an epoch singularly rich in female novelists'" Enclyclopedia of British Women Writers p. 264 citing Mrs. Gaskell's obituary in The Athenaeum. "Critical awareness of Gaskell as a social historian is now more balanced by awareness of her innovativeness and artistic development as a novelist. While scholars continue to debate the precise nature of her talent they also reaffirm the singular attractiveness of her best works" ibid of which Cranford is one.

The story of Molly Gibson the only daughter of a widowed doctor living in a provincial English town in the 1830s and her ultimate attraction of Roger Hamley the younger son of the local Squire and her social superior. The final section of the book was unfinished at the time of Gaskell's sudden death in 1865 although she had related to a friend that she intended Roger to return and present Molly with a dried flower a gift Molly had given him before his departure to Africa as proof of his enduring love. Frederick Greenwood wrote the last section on these lines. However in the BBC adaptation of the novel an alternative ending was written in which Roger finds himself unwilling to leave Molly without speaking to her of his love and they marry and return to Africa together.
