With Mr. Harrison's Confessions and the Cage at Cranford (Everyman's Library (Paper))
Cranford (1851-53) sketches the mannered, old-fashioned lifestyle maintained by ladies in a quiet country village in the 1830s. This bemused tale of ancien fashions and "elegant economy" is complemented with a short story about a young surgeon's disruptive entry into Duncombe village. In both stories, Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) shows a genteel class entrenched in the receding era, while a new age presents its visiting card.

Anthony Trollope, known and loved for the imaginary worlds and characters he created in the Barsetshire and Palliser series, remains one of the most popular of Victorian novelists. In an astonishing literary career, which began in 1847, he published forty-seven novels, forty-two stories, five travel books, and many articles, essays and lectures.Typically Victorian, but with surprisingly modern insights, he enjoyed two successful careers and a happy domesticity; he became a clubman, a failed politician, and displayed an inexhaustible zest for travel and experience.His early life was marred by his father's failure, but improved somewhat when his mother, Frances, achieved overnight literary success. Having joined the Post Office as a clerk in 1834, Trollope went on to revitalise postal services in England, Ireland and overseas.
