Description
Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth (1853) is a groundbreaking novel that challenges Victorian social norms with its unflinching portrayal of love, family, and hypocrisy. This fully revised edition brings together the three-volume first edition of 1853 and the one-volume 1855 edition, offering a comprehensive understanding of Gaskell's radical vision. A remarkable story of deception and consequences, Ruth explores the complexities of Victorian society through its eponymous heroine. The novel's influence extends beyond its time period, with its themes and ideas continuing to resonate today. Tim Dolin's introduction provides new insights into Gaskell's work, highlighting its cultural significance and enduring relevance. This edition includes a bibliography, chronology, and notes that shed light on the book's historical, literary, and religious allusions, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and readers alike.
