Excerpt from The Story of Helen Davenant I have heard, since, that my mother was one of the most beautiful women of her day, and I well remember how lovely she appeared, to my childish gaze, on this last occasion on which I beheld her. She was sitting, propped up by pillows, in the large four-post bed, dressed only in some sort of white wrapper, with her dark hair drawn back from her face, and hang. Ing in long tresses over her shoulders. She seemed to me to look wonderfully young and girlish for a mother, but she had grown much paler and thinner, I thought, since the morning, and her eyes had an anxious and unhappy expression. Look here, Little Nelly, she said, as soon as Celestine had left us. You have always been a dear, obedient little girl. Pay attention to what I'm saying now, for I feel very faint, and can't talk much. Open the side door of that wardrobe there, and do exactly as I tell you. I went to the wardrobe. It was unlocked, and the door opened quite easily. At first, I could see nothing inside it but beautiful evening dresses of many colours, some' of which I had seen my mother wearing before she was so much confined to her room.

"Josie Billington seeks to resituate Gaskell's work within the wider tradition of nineteenth-century realism and argues that Gaskell deserves to be read not as a poor second to George Eliot but as offering an English Victorian equivalent of the religious realism of Leo Tolstoy.

Helen tells the story of a young orphan, Helen Stanley, whose guardian, Dean Stanley, has squandered his fortune and left Helen without means of support. She is forced to take up residence with the local vicar, whose wife is astonished that none of the Stanleys' aristocratic friends have offered a refuge to her. Eventually, however, the Davenant family returns from abroad and invite Helen to their daughter's new home, Clarendon Park since Cecilia Davenant has just married General Clarendon. Helen journeys to join her dear friend Cecilia, a charming socialite which results with Helen's experiences among the most fortunate of Britain's elite under the tutelage of Lady Davenant, who in some ways favors Helen over her own daughter Cecilia.

This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100 notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of British life. Most of the lives included are those of women whose work took them in some way before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role in broadening the horizons of women. Also included are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society hostesses. Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this newly re-worked edition includes key figures who have died in the last 20 years, such as The Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings and Christina Foyle.
