Gaskell described Sylvia’s Lovers as “the saddest story” she’d ever written. Set during the French Revolutionary Wars, Sylvia is a heroine loved by two men: one a sailor and the other her cousin. Her private world is damaged by public events, and Sylvia develops from a willful girl into a woman changed by suffering.
