Currently reading Elizabeth Gaskell's 'North and South' (1855). Discovered that there was a television dramatisation in 2004. Partially centred round a labour dispute . #Victorian, #literature, #elizabethgaskell, #19thcenturynovels.

Happy Birthday to #ElizabethGaskell, born on 29th September 1810. Gaskell wasn’t just a talented writer; she showed that women could be wives and mothers while challenging expectations, following their passions, and achieving their dreams. A true icon in every sense.
Tal día como hoy de 1810 nacía #ElizabethGaskell, cronista de la Inglaterra rural victoriana. Pasó a la historia por mérito propio (Norte y Sur, Cranford...) y por biografiar a su gran amiga #CharlotteBrontë en un libro que amplió el mito de las 3 Brontë cumulosylimbos.blogspot.com/2013/02/eliz...
"Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom."

Aye, John, lad, that might be so, but to loosely quote Shrek: "You have the right. What you lack, is the capacity." 🤣🤣🤣

Rereading #North&South by #ElizabethGaskell and thinking back on takeaways some people have had over time always makes me think of what pov people really do look through. How they view the characters and what they feel on integral parts of Gaskell’s storytelling medium to talk about social issues.
