Abridged version

El famoso román de la escritora inglesa del siglo XIX Elizabeth Gaskell, "Cranford", fue publicado por primera vez en forma de serie en la revista "Household Words", dirigida por Charles Dickens, en 1851. La autora retrata el ficticio pueblo de Cranford, inspirado en Knutsford, en el condado de Cheshire, donde pasó gran parte de su infancia. La trama del román consiste en una serie de episodios caprichosos de la vida de Mary Smith y sus amigas, las solteronas hermanas Matty y Deborah Jenkyns. La escena está poblada por personajes humorísticos, como Betty Barker, quien ama a su vaca como si fuera su hija, la honorable pero letárgica señora Jamieson, Thomas Holbrook, un pretendiente de la señorita Matty que muere un año después de su viaje a París, y el dudoso sirviente de la señora Jamieson, el señor Mulliner. "Cranford" no solo ha sido querido por numerosas generaciones, sino que también ha sido adaptado para cine y televisión, incluyendo la serie de la BBC "Cranford".

Sons and Lovers By D. H. Lawrence Complete and Unabridged Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially incited a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. The third published novel of D. H. Lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece, tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and budding artist. Richard Aldington explains the semi-autobiographical nature of this masterpiece: When you have experienced Sons and Lovers you have lived through the agonies of the young Lawrence striving to win free from his old life. Generally, it is not only considered as an evocative portrayal of working-class life in a mining community, but also an intense study of family, class and early sexual relationships. The original 1913 edition was heavily edited by Edward Garnett who removed 80 passages, roughly a tenth of the text. The novel is dedicated to Garnett. Garnett, as the literary advisor to the publishing firm Duckworth, was an important figure in leading Lawrence further into the London literary world during the years 1911 and 1912. It was not until the 1992 Cambridge University Press edition was released that the missing text was restored.
