Autorenporträt
Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823–1901) was an English novelist who dedicated her writing career to the service of the Anglican faith. Her work often reflects the values and ideals of the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive High Church aspects of Anglican Christianity. Yonge achieved commercial success and exerted considerable influence in the 19th-century literary scene, especially through her family and historical novels which echoed her religious convictions and engagement with social issues of her time. Yonge's narrative style is characterized by didacticism, blended with vivid storytelling that transports readers to different epochs and social settings. Her novel 'The Two Guardians or, Home in This World' is an exemplary reflection of her narrative talents and moral preoccupations. Alongside this work, Yonge's authorship includes the renowned 'The Heir of Redclyffe' (1853), which became a sensational bestseller and solidified her reputation. Her extensive literary output served not only as entertainment but also as a tool for intellectual and spiritual guidance, making her an enduring figure in Victorian literature. Yonge's commitment to education and charity was profound, and she edited the educational magazine 'The Monthly Packet' for forty years, further contributing to her legacy as a writer who genuinely lived the principles she espoused in her works.
