I'm currently reading Mary Barton, a nineteenth century novel set in Manchester, by Elizabeth Gaskell ... lots of references to rain and poverty and Ancoats ... but most exciting was the phrase "rattle his bones over the stones". I know there are other references for this phrase (Thomas Gray and Shelagh Delaney for example) but could it be that the greatest living Englishman is also an Elizabeth Gaskell fan?
