How do the locations in Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels portray the changes made by Victorian industrialisation?

Abstract

With the new technological advancements, such as the invention of the steam train and the first factory, the period of 19th Century Britain was deeply defined by the Industrial Revolution. Novelist, and short story writer, Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865), having lived in both the country town of Knutsford and the large manufacturing city, Manchester, has paid witness to how industrialisation was changing a variety of areas. The various locations are reflected in the settings of her novels.
