About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Short Stories (Later works 1858-65) by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell. Read in English by Phil Benson. Elizabeth Gaskell was a regular contributor to Dickens's 'Household Worlds' and 'All The Round' until he later years. From 1858 onwards, she also began to publish in other magazines, including 'Harpers New Monthly Magazine', 'The Cornhill Magazine', 'MacMillan's Magazine', 'Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country', and 'Pall Mall Gazette'. This collection brings together her contributions to these publications from 1858 to 1865, the year of Gaskell's untimely death. It includes a number of short fiction and non-fiction pieces. The stand out of the collection is 'The Doom of the Griffiths', which has appeared in a number of collections of Gaskell's later short fiction. (Summary by Phil Benson)
