Autorenporträt
Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823–1901) was a prolific English novelist, known for her strong commitment to the principles of the Oxford Movement, a high church Anglican group that sought to instill a spiritual depth into Anglican practice and to influence everyday life with Christian principles. Yonge's literary career was dedicated to upholding these values, showcasing her deep convictions in her writing. Her novels were immensely popular in the nineteenth century, characterized by their detailed character development, moral dilemmas, and keen observations on social mores of the time. Yonge's literary style combines didactic themes with engaging storytelling. Her most famous work, 'The Heir of Redclyffe' (1853), provides a clear example of her narrative prowess and her ability to weave together themes of piety, family loyalty, and personal sacrifice. Although not as widely known, 'More Bywords' is another noteworthy book by Yonge, which further demonstrates her forte in short stories and sketches that offer moral lessons. Yonge's works contributed significantly to the genres of family and children's literature, influencing generations of readers and authors alike. Her dedication to literature and education also led her to found the Monthly Packet, a magazine that addressed the young women of England, guiding them with advice and stories aligned with her orthodox Anglican beliefs.
