Abstract

This study approaches the BBC's adaptations of certain novels by Elizabeth Gaskell for television, analysing the similarities and differences between the original and its televised version, highlighting those issues present in the nineteenth-century original that the BBC versions bring to the fore, which has made these miniseries an excellent way of bringing the narrative of a Victorian novelist who enjoyed notorious popularity among her contemporaries and who, nevertheless, from her death until well into the second half of the 20th century went unnoticed by both critics and the general public. It will be seen, thus, how these adaptations have led to the inclusion of Gaskell's works in popular culture.
