Autor

Edna Lyall, the pen name for Ada Ellen Bayly (1857–1903), was an English novelist known for her sensitive and sympathetic portrayal of characters wrestling with moral dilemmas. Born in Brighton, Bayly adopted 'Edna Lyall' as her pseudonym, under which she published numerous novels that achieved considerable popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her literature often explored social issues and championed the underdog, reflecting her own liberal and humanitarian views. In 'Derrick Vaughan, Novelist' (1889), Lyall delves into the life and struggles of a young writer navigating the intricacies of literary fame and responsibility. Characterized by her earnest narrative style, Lyall's works also exhibit a profound understanding of human nature and a passionate commitment to justice and tolerance. Though her novels, including 'We Two' (1884) and 'Donovan' (1882), have largely fallen out of popular reading lists, they provide valuable insights into Victorian literary culture and were influential in promoting social change. Lyall's legacy extends beyond her works to her active support for various social causes, including women's rights and the plight of political refugees, elements which often feature prominently in her storytelling.
