Yonge, Charlotte M.
Yonge, Charlotte M. Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823–1901), came under the influence of Keble, and absorbed the Tractarian religious views which thereafter coloured all her writings. Her best-known novel is The Heir of Redclyffe (1853); her other novels of contemporary life include Heartsease (1854), The Daisy Chain (1856), Dynevor Terrace (1857), Hopes and Fears (1860), The Trial (1864), The Clever Woman of the Family (1865), The Pillars of the House (1873), and Magnum Bonum (1879). She also wrote many historical romances for children (including The Little Duke, 1854; The Dove in the Eagle's Nest, 1866; and The Chaplet of Pearls, 1868). Her chief excellence as a novelist was her loving depiction of life in large families, particularly sibling relationships, presented with convincing dialogue and unstinted incident.

Charlotte Mary Yonge

In spite of their religiosity her books were long popular because of the excellence of their characterization and dialogue. The Heir of Redclyffe (1853), a novel, and The Daisy Chain (1856), a book for girls, are best known. She edited the Monthly Packet from 1851, and many of her stories first appeared there. |
