Charlotte Yonge, a dedicated religious, didactic, and domestic
novelist, has become one of the most effectively rediscovered
Victorian women writers of the last decades. Her prolific output of
fiction does not merely give a fascinatingly different insight into
nineteenth-century popular culture; it also yields a startling
complexity. This compels a reappraisal of the parameters that have
long been limiting discussion of women writers of the time.
Situating Yonge amidst developments in science, technology,
imperialism, aesthetics, and the book market at her time, the
individual contributions in this book explore her critical and
often self-conscious engagement with current fads, controversies,
and possible alternatives. Her marketing of her missionary stories,
the wider significance of her contribution to Tractarian
aesthetics, the impact of Darwinian science on her domestic
chronicles, and her work as a successful editor of a newly
established magazine show this self-confidently anti-feminist and
domestic writer exert a profound influence on Victorian literature
and culture. This book was previously published as a special issue
of Women's Writing.
