Autor

Mrs. Humphry Ward was a well-known English novelist and social reformer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was born Mary Augusta Ward on June 11, 1851. Her father was the well-known biologist Thomas Arnold, and her aunt was the well-known novelist Charlotte Mary Yonge. She was raised in an educated and literary household. Early books by Ward, such "Robert Elsmere" (1888), were very popular because of their examination of social and religious themes. In particular, "Robert Elsmere" sparked debate with his analysis of the conflict between science and religion and theological skepticism. Ward's writing frequently demonstrated her interest in current discussions surrounding issues such as social reform, women's rights, and education. In addition to her literary endeavors, Ward was deeply engaged in the anti-suffrage movement and participated in a number of charitable endeavors. She assisted Belgian refugees who had been displaced during World War I. Her involvement with the Charity Organization Society was also active.
