A small Cheshire town run almost entirely by women of small means and large dignity, where the arrival of a bank failure or a conjuror counts as an era. Gaskell wrote it in sketches for Dickens's magazine, with no plan for a novel, and the shape it took is the shape of gossip. The town is Knutsford, where she grew up.
