  <about><![CDATA[&lt;B&gt;Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell&lt;/B&gt;, née Stevenson (29 September 1810 – 12 November 1865), often referred to simply as &lt;B&gt;Mrs. Gaskell&lt;/B&gt;, was an English novelist and short story writer during the Victorian era. She is perhaps best known for her biography of Charlotte Brontë. Her novels offer a detailed portrait of the lives of many strata of society, including the very poor, and as such are of interest to social historians as well as lovers of literature.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Cheyne Walk, Chelsea</hometown>  <born_at>09/29/1810</born_at>  <died_at>11/12/1865</died_at>
