SUMMARY:Knutsford Meeting - Middlemarch & Wives and Daughters
DESCRIPTION:Many critics have considered the similarities between the works of Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot\, thus suggesting one having influenced the other. Eliot’s reputation has been such that there is often an assumption that Gaskell would be influenced by her. The question we should be asking is: Did Gaskell in any way influence Eliot? \nIn this fourth session\, Dr Diane Duffy looks the themes of education and marriage\, with particular focus on Rosamund Vincy and Mrs Gibson. \nOur monthly Knutsford meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month\, between October and April (except December). They take the form of an informal and friendly open discussion / study session. Come along and share your thoughts\, or simply enjoy listening in.\nBring your own packed lunch from 1pm and then enjoy the discussion\, 2-3pm. Everyone is most welcome. £5 members\, £6 non-members \nDownload Diane’s Points to Ponder and extracts from the two works for discussion.  \nThis talk will be delivered live in-person\, in Knutsford\, with a simultaneous Zoom link for remote participants (please note we will not be making a recording available for later viewing).  \nSimply come along and pay on the door\, or book online (no booking fee). \n\n\n \nUse the links below to purchase any of these books and you’ll be supporting the Gaskell Society through our affiliate link.  Bookshop.org also champions independent bookshops.  \n

SUMMARY:Knutsford Meeting - April 2023
DESCRIPTION:Our discussion series for 2022-23 looks at Wives and Daughters. First published in serial form in the Cornhill Magazine\, between August 1864 and January 1866\, Wives and Daughters was unfinished when Elizabeth died suddenly in 1865. This is many people’s favourite Gaskell novel\, which perhaps shows how her writing was getting better and better. We can only wonder at what she might have gone on to accomplish. \nSeventeen-year-old Molly Gibson worships her widowed father. But when he decides to remarry\, Molly’s life is thrown off course by the arrival of her vain\, shallow and selfish stepmother. There is some solace in the shape of her new stepsister Cynthia\, who is beautiful\, sophisticated and irresistible to every man she meets. Soon the girls become close\, and Molly finds herself cajoled into becoming a go-between in Cynthia’s love affairs. But in doing so\, Molly risks ruining her reputation in the gossiping village of Hollingford – and jeopardising everything with the man she is secretly in love with. \nIn this sixth and final session for the season\, Dr Diane Duffy will lead a discussion on the chapters from 50 to the end of the novel. \nRead her discussion Points to Ponder here.  \nOur monthly meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month\, between October and April (except December). Bring your own packed lunch from 1pm and then enjoy a friendly and informal talk and discussion\, led by Dr Diane Duffy\, 2-3pm. \nEveryone is most welcome. £5 members\, £6 non-members
