`Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses, above a certain rent, are women.'In this witty and poignant comedy of early-Victorian life in a country town, Elizabeth Gaskell describes the uneventful lives of the lady-like inhabitants so as to offer an ironic commentary on the diverse experiences of men and women.
