The John Rylands University Library

I have found out the Gaskell's manuscripts, letters to dickens etc and portrait can be found in The John Rylands University Library which I visited to further my  investigation into her life and how she wrote to others, not just in her novels.



It is such a beautiful gothic building near Manchester's town hall, it looks slightly out of place from the more modern buildings that surrond it. However it made me feel like I was really going back in time, while I was looking at these 19th century letters. The whole experience felt unreal.
