The Grey Woman and other Tales

The Grey Woman and other Tales

Elizabeth Gaskell wrote The Grey Woman for Charles Dickens’s journal All the Year Round. It was intended to become a full-length novel, but was published as a short story in three parts in January 1861. The story is told from the perspective of the protagonist, Anna Scherer, daughter of a German miller, who relates her marriage to the French nobleman Monsieur de la Tourelle a gay young, elegant’ (Gaskell 2000, 339) man, who turns out to be a robber. She and her servant Amante escape from his castle, Les Rochers, and settle in Frankfurt.
