Autorenporträt
Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823–1901) was an English novelist known for her huge literary output that effectively combined the Victorian values of duty, faith, and endurance in domestic settings. Yonge's career as a writer began early, and over her lifetime, she published over 160 works, including novels, short stories, historical writings, and books for children. Her writing style often explored issues of morality and piety, addressing themes such as the role of women, family life, and social reform, all rooted in her devout Anglican beliefs. Her novel 'The Heir of Redclyffe' (1853) gained widespread popularity and was considered her greatest success. However, it was not just her best-known work; many others, like 'Heartsease' (1854), 'The Daisy Chain' (1856), and 'The Trial' (1864), solidified her reputation as a didactic author who sought to provide moral education through her narratives. Even later works, such as 'Modern Broods; Or, Developments Unlooked For' (1900), continued this trend by examining generational challenges and virtues in family life. Yonge was a prolific writer who not only entertained but also sought to instruct and uphold the principles she valued, leaving a significant mark on Victorian literature and society.
