Characterized by a rich narrative style and keen psychological insight, her Novels often interrogate the intricate dynamics of Victorian society, exploring themes such as class struggle, gender roles, and familial duty. From her celebrated novel North and South to her poignant short stories, Gaskell adeptly interweaves personal and societal conflicts, utilizing a blend of realism and romanticism that resonates with her contemporary readership while still captivating modern audiences.

Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
SOME GREAT LITTLE THINGS: I am going to speak to you for a few minutes to-night upon what I shall term "Some Great Little Things." I speak of them as great, because of their supreme importance, and I speak of them as little, because they come in a class of things which are usually looked upon by many people as small and unimportant.

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a haunting psychological ghost story that blurs the line between reality and imagination. The novella centers on a young governess who is hired to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate. As she begins to witness ghostly apparitions and strange behavior, she becomes convinced that the children are being haunted by the spirits of two former servants. But is what she sees real — or a projection of her own fears and desires?Told through a chilling frame narrative, The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece of ambiguity and suspense. James skillfully leaves readers questioning the narrator's reliability and the nature of evil itself. With its rich prose, atmospheric setting, and eerie tension, this novella has captivated and unsettled audiences for over a century, making it one of the most influential ghost stories in literature.
