One common setting in Gaskell's novels is?

  • Rural villages

  • Space stations

  • Exotic islands

  • Futuristic cities

Answer

Rural villages are a common setting in Elizabeth Gaskell's novels because they allowed her to explore themes of social class, gender roles, and the impact of industrialization on traditional communities. By focusing on the lives of ordinary people in rural areas, Gaskell was able to shed light on the social and economic changes that were taking place in Victorian England.
