This interdisciplinary collection of essays explores the life and
work of Charlotte M. Yonge, a highly influential and popular
nineteenth-century writer who is emerging from a long period of
critical neglect. Its wide-ranging chapters capture the scope and
quality of current work in Yonge studies, addressing the full range
of her prolific literary output from her best-selling novels to her
nature writing, biographies, and letters. Considering themes from
gender, disability, and empire, to Tractarianism, secularism, and
the idea of progress, these essays consider how Yonge reflected and
shaped the tastes, ideas and anxieties of her readers and
contemporaries. Exploring her key role in the Anglican revival, her
importance as a test case in the development of feminist criticism,
and her formal innovativeness as a novelist, this collection places
Yonge centrally in the nineteenth-century literary landscape and
demonstrates her ongoing relevance to scholars and students of the
period.
