About the Book

Publiée en feuilleton dans The Cornhill Magazine, de novembre 1863 à février 1864, cette longue nouvelle permit sans doute à Elizabeth Gaskell de reprendre un peu son souffle littéraire entre les deux très longs romans que sont Sylvia's Lovers (1863), une tragique histoire d'amour et de guerre et le magistral Femmes et filles, (1865), dont l'auteur, fauchée en pleine gloire, n'eut pas le temps d'écrire le dernier chapitre. Ma cousine Phillis est peut-être le plus beau témoignage laissé par Mrs Gaskell sur le mode de vie rural de l'Angleterre profonde, bientôt voué à disparaître sous les assauts de l'industrialisation. C'est aussi une touchante et mélancolique histoire d'amour, ou peut-être faudrait-il dire histoire d'amours, car l'auteur nous y peint avec sa finesse coutumière non seulement une romance entre deux jeunes gens, mais aussi l'amour unissant Phillis et ses parents et celui, tout fraternel, qu'éprouve envers elle son cousin Paul, le narrateur de l'histoire, et qu'elle lui rend bien. Il règne dans ces pages une atmosphère faussement paisible qui n'exclut nullement la profondeur des sentiments et l'univers créé par Mrs Gaskell laissera à ses lecteurs un souvenir indélébile
About the Author: Elizabeth Gaskell née le 29 septembre 1810 à Londres, morte le 12 novembre 1865 à Holybourne (en), près d'Alton dans le Hampshire, est une romancière britannique. Elle naît Elizabeth Cleghorn Stevenson au 93 Cheyne Walk, à Chelsea le 29 septembre 1810. Sa mère, Eliza Holland, appartient à une famille influente du West Midlands qui est liée à d'autres familles unitariennes connues, comme les Wedgwood (porcelaine) et les Darwin (naturaliste), mais elle meurt quand Elizabeth est enfant. Son père, William Stevenson (1772-1829), était ministre unitarien à Manchester mais a abandonné la vie religieuse en 1792. Successivement fermier, éditeur, écrivain, il se fixe finalement à Londres en 1806 où il a la charge des Archives du Trésor (Keeper of the Records of the Treasury); il se remarie après la mort d'Eliza, en 1814. Elle passe l'essentiel de son enfance dans le Cheshire, où elle vit avec la soeur de sa mère, Hannah Holland (1768-1837), Aunt Lumb, à Knutsford, ville qu'elle immortalisera plus tard dans Cranford (et qu'évoque également Épouses et Filles, sous le nom de Hollingford). Elle est envoyée à douze ans à l'école des soeurs Byerley d'abord à Barford puis à Stratford-on-Avon à partir de 1824, où elle apprend le latin, le français et l'italien. Elle retourne chez son père à Londres en 1828, à la disparition de son frère John Stevenson, qui naviguait pour l'East India Company, mais s'entend mal avec sa belle-mère, une soeur du peintre de miniatures écossais William John Thomson (qui peint un portrait célèbre d'Elizabeth en 1832). En 1829, date de la mort de son père, elle retourne à Knutsford. Elle a également séjourné un temps à Newcastle upon Tyne chez le révérend William Turner (un unitarien, lui aussi) et à Édimbourg en 1831, où fut peint son portrait par William John Thomson.
