Description: Ruth, Paperback by Gaskell, Elizabeth Cleghorn; Dolin, Tim (EDT), ISBN 0199581959, ISBN-13 9780199581955, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Elizabeth Gaskells Ruth (1853) was the first mainstream novel to make a fallen woman its eponymous heroine. It is a remarkable story of love, of the sanctuary and tyranny of the family, and of the consequences of lies and deception, one that lays bare Victorian hypocrisy and sexual
double-standards. Shocking to contemporary readers, its radical utopian vision of "a pure woman faithfully presented" predates Hardys Tess by nearly forty years. This fully revised and corrected new edition is based on the three-volume first edition of 1853, collated with the one-volume 1855
edition. Tim Dolins fascinating new introduction challenges the view of Ruth as one of Gaskells weaker novels and explores its radicalism and cultural influence, highlighting the remarkable story of love, family, and hypocrisy that it tells. In addition, th includes an up-to-date
bibliography, a chronology of Gaskells life and work, and invaluable notes that shed much light on ths historical, religious, and literary allusions and points of significance.
