Author: Elizabeth Gaskell   / Year: 1810 - 1865   / Genre: Culture



Wives and Daughters, An Every-Day Story is a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in the Cornhill Magazine
 as a serial from August 1864 to January 1866. It was partly written whilst Gaskell was staying with the salon
hostess Mary Elizabeth Mohl at her home on the Rue de Bac in Paris. When Mrs Gaskell died suddenly in 1865,
 it was not quite complete, and the last section was written by Frederick Greenwood. The story is about Molly
Gibson, the only daughter of a widowed doctor living in a provincial English town in the 1830s.
