Mrs gaskell wives and daughters6/6/2023 ![]() The final chapter was added by the editor of The Cornhill. Elizabeth Gaskell had died in August 1865 leaving Wives and Daughters unfinished. It was first first published in serial form in The Cornhill Magazine from August 1864 to January 1866. Today there are many editions of Wives and Daughters available. Elizabeth Gaskell is a superb storyteller and I loved this book. It’s only the second book of hers that I’ve read – the other book is Cranford, but I think Wives and Daughters is so much better. ![]() Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell was my Classics Club Spin book for March and April and I was rather daunted when I realised that the e-book version I had downloaded about six years ago has over 800 pages, but it’s really easy reading. ![]()
