Autor

Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823–1901) was a prolific English novelist, known for her strong adherence to Christian values and keen insight into domestic and family life during the Victorian era. The author of over 100 books, Yonge's work often reflects her devout Anglican beliefs and her commitment to the Oxford Movement, which aimed to revive the spiritual aspects of the Church of England. One notable example of her literature is 'The Carbonels', which showcases her narrative talent and her ability to weave intricate tales of morality and social responsibility. Yonge's influence extended beyond her novels as she also contributed to educational reform through her writing for the young, as seen in her role as editor for 'The Monthly Packet', a magazine targeting the youth. Her literary style, embedded with didactic elements, often portrayed the challenges of living up to one's principles in a changing world. Her enduring impact on the genre of family and historical fiction is marked by her ability to capture the essence of 19th-century society and its complexities. Scholars have acknowledged Yonge for her detailed characterizations and her commitment to exploring the nuances of ethical living, and her work continues to be studied for its contribution to Victorian culture and literature (Battiscombe, 1943; Dennis, 1992).
