My Lady Ludlow

by Elizabeth Gaskell

Overview

Lady Ludlow is absolute mistress of Handbury Court and a resolulte opponent of anything that might disturb the class system into which she was born. She will keep no servant who can read and write and insists that the lower orders have no rights, but only duties. But the winds of change are blowing through the village of Handbury. The Vicar, Mr. Gray, wishes to start a Sunday school for religious reasons; Mr. Horner wants to educate the citizens for economic reasons. But Lady Ludlow is not as rigid as one may think. An Academy Victoria Classic.

Jenny Uglow

"...Through the events in a small village (Mrs. Gaskell) presents a span of social, religious and encomic history in which the old order slowly allows in the new."
