Autorenporträt

Anne Manning become an English novelist and biographer. She is excellent known for her ancient novels and biographical works. Manning's writing career flourished at some stage in the nineteenth century, and her works often pondered her deep hobby in history and society. One of Manning's super works is the historic novel "The Day of Small Things." Published in 1869, the novel is ready towards the backdrop of the English Civil War and the following years of political and social upheaval. The narrative revolves across the existence of the protagonist, John Frewen, an Oxford student, and the challenges he faces in the course of a tumultuous period in English history. "The Day of Small Things" is celebrated for Manning's meticulous research, attention to ancient detail, and her capacity to weave a compelling story towards a wealthy historical tapestry. The novel gives readers with insights into the political, non-secular, and societal conflicts of the time, portraying characters grappling with non-public and political demanding situations.
