MY LADY LUDLOW (1859) by Elizabeth Gaskell is a quintessential slice of British Victorian literature and social commentary by the talented contemporary of Charlotte Bronte. Gaskell's work is remarkable not only for her mastery of local dialects and period detail, but for the wide range of heartfelt sympathies and understanding of all levels of society, from the highest nobility to the lowest working poor.
