Autorenporträt
Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) was a prolific English novelist, known for her commitment to the High Church movement of the Anglican Church and her didactic and family-focused storytelling. Educated at home in the rectory of her father's parish, Yonge's narrow upbringing did not stifle the breadth of her literary talents. Her career, spanning over 50 years, produced over 100 works, including much-admired novels, historical writings, and contributions to educational texts. 'The Heir of Redclyffe' (1853) is her best-recognized work, hallmarking her literary style imbued with moral and religious undertones. Her narrative prowess wove tales that often explored the challenges of Victorian social expectations and championed virtues like duty, self-sacrifice, and diligence. Yonge also co-founded the influential magazine 'The Monthly Packet', which supported women's education and church interests. Her later book, 'Pioneers and Founders or, Recent Workers in the Mission field' (1871), exemplifies her dedication to promoting Christian missionary work and presenting narratives of moral heroism. Yonge's legacy endures through her nuanced narratives and indelible contributions to religious education, literary culture, and the role of women writers in Victorian society.
