Autorenporträt

Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) was an English novelist esteemed for her contributions to children's literature and for her work in the genre of historical romance. Born into a religious Anglican family in Otterbourne, Hampshire, Yonge's writing career was profoundly influenced by her membership in the Oxford Movement, an affiliation that imbued her work with strong moral and Church of England principles. A prolific writer, Yonge's oeuvre spanned over 100 works, including 'The Heir of Redclyffe' (1853), which secured her reputation as a leading author of her time. Yonge's 'The Trial; Or, More Links of the Daisy Chain' (1864) is an exemplary piece that follows her underlying thematic of Christian duty and social service. It is a sequel to 'The Daisy Chain' (1856) and continues the narrative of the May family, reflecting Yonge's characteristic domestic chronicles interlaced with didactic and moral edification. Her literary style is marked by a seamless blend of realistic family sagas with an emphasis on Victorian virtues. Yonge's commitment to societal and educational reform shone through her editorship of 'The Monthly Packet,' a magazine that intended to instruct and entertain young women. Her legacy remains that of a devout Christian storyteller who inspired generations of readers with her wholesome and instructive tales.
