Autorenporträt
Christabel Rose Coleridge was an English novelist and editor, best known for her contributions to girls' magazines. She was born on May 25, 1843, in London, to Derwent Coleridge, a clergyman and scholar. Christabel was closely connected to literary circles, often collaborating with other notable authors such as Charlotte Mary Yonge. Her works primarily focused on historical fiction and family-oriented narratives, often exploring themes of personal morality, social duty, and women's roles in society. Coleridge s views were conservative, and her writing often reflected the values of her time, particularly in the context of women's expectations and responsibilities. She also played an active role in the editorial side of girls' magazines, shaping young minds with stories that upheld traditional values. Coleridge passed away on November 14, 1921, at the age of 78, in Torquay, leaving behind a legacy of literature that centered on the domestic and social concerns of her era. Her works continue to be appreciated for their exploration of character development and societal expectations, particularly regarding women in the Victorian period.
