Autor

Ada Ellen Bayly, whose pen name was Edna Lyall, was born in Brighton, England, on March 25, 1857, and died on February 8, 1903. Lyall was a social reformer and writer from England who worked in the late 19th and early 20th century. She decided to write under a pseudonym and tackled social concerns and morals in her books. Edna Lyall was a prolific writer and social activist who was raised in a devout and socially oriented home. She sided with the temperance movement and promoted moderation in alcohol intake. Her interest in moral philosophy was evident in the ethical quandaries she frequently explored in her works. Edna Lyall made a significant addition to Victorian writing, providing readers with a nuanced view of the socioeconomic and moral difficulties of her time, even though she did not achieve the lasting acclaim of some of her contemporaries. Her works, which continue to be insightful windows into the moral underpinnings of late 19th-century society, are the principal source of her legacy.
