Produktbeschreibung
"The Daisy Chain: Or Aspirations Part I" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a Victorian novel that intricately weaves together themes of family, morality, and the demanding situations confronted by way of its characters. Set inside the fictional English village of Stoneborough, the tale revolves across the May own family, specifically the virtuous and earnest Ethel, who strives to manual her siblings and peers at the path of righteousness. Yonge, a famend nineteenth-century writer, demonstrates her eager understanding of Victorian society, emphasizing the ethical and social expectancies placed upon people, particularly young women. The novel explores the complexities of familial relationships and the impact of character selections on one's destiny. At the heart of "The Daisy Chain" lies the metaphor of the daisy, symbolizing the interconnected lives and aspirations of the characters. Ethel, along with her aspirations for goodness and virtue, serves as the moral compass in a story wealthy with private trials and triumphs. The novel reflects the author's didactic motive, using the narrative to impart ethical training and values to its readers. Yonge's writing fashion is characterised by way of a mixture of sentimentality and moral seriousness, making "The Daisy Chain" an integral instance of Victorian literature that is still preferred for its exploration of ethical dilemmas and circle of relative¿s dynamics.
Autorenporträt
Charlotte Mary Yonge was an English author who lived from 1823 to 1901 and wrote for the church. The many books she wrote helped the Oxford Movement grow, and they showed how much she cared about public health and cleanliness. Kate Mary Yonge was born on August 11, 1823, in Otterbourne, Hampshire, England. Her parents were William Yonge and Fanny Yonge, née Bargus. She went to school with her father at home and learned Latin, Greek, French, Euclid, and math. Her father could be very strict with her. He expected a level of hard work and correctness that I had never seen before. It was so loud that no one could stand to hear it, and it often made me cry, but his approval was so sweet that it was a great motivator. Even though people often say nice things about how dirty I am, I think it would have broken our hearts to stop working together. We kept going until I was a few years past twenty. Yonge loved her father deeply and for a long time. Her relationship with him seems to have set the bar for all other relationships, even marriage. For him, "approbation was throughout life my bliss; his anger my misery for the time."
