Elizabeth Gaskell was a popular novelist during her time, known for crafting books that show clearly the class divide. This is a non-fiction essay about the Cagots, They did not seem to be ethnically or religiously distinct from the society which they lived in, but were scapegoats and subjected to a wide range of restrictions. Gaskell outlines some of the worst here.
