About this audiobook
The trope of the "fallen woman" has been a constant presence in world literature for centuries. Victorian novelist Elizabeth Gaskell breathes new life into that tired archetype in the engaging short story "Lizzie Leigh," in which love ultimately triumphs even in the face of the most formidable odds.

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson (Gaskell de casada) nació en Londres en 1810. En 1832 contrajo matrimonio con William Gaskell, ministro unitario, y la pareja se estableció en Manchester, una ciudad sometida a las secuelas de la revolución Industrial. El choque que supuso el contacto con esta sociedad quedaría reflejado en varias de sus novelas: Mary Barton (1848; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR NÚM. LIV) o Norte y Sur (1855; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR núm. XXIV). En 1857 publicó la Vida de Charlotte Brontë (ALBA CLÁSICA BIOGRAFÍAS, núm. IV), una de las biografías más destacadas del siglo XIX. Otras obras suyas son La casa del páramo (1850; ALBA CLÁSICA, núm. CIV), Cranford (1851-1853; ALBA CLÁSICA, núm. XLII), Cuentos góticos (ALBA CLÁSICA, núm. XCIV), Los amores de Sylvia (1863), La prima Phyllis (1863-1864; ALBA CLÁSICA, núm. CIII), e Hijas y esposas (1864-1866; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR núm. XLII), cuyos últimos capítulos dejaría sin concluir a su muerte, acaecida en 1865 en Alton, Hampshire.
