Hayslope Grange (Esprios Classics)

A Tale of the Civil War

Beschreibung

"It was a sweet spring day, soft and balmy as summer, and any one looking across the green meadows and smiling uplands of Hayslope, now so full of the promise of early fruitfulness, would have wondered what could make the farm-labourers appear so gloomy, and the women-folk sigh instead of singing at their work, if he knew nothing of what was going on a few miles away."

Autor

Emma Leslie was a British novelist, known for her contributions to children's literature and stories that often dealt with themes of family, moral growth, and social issues. Leslie came from a respectable family and wrote during a time when literature was increasingly addressing the concerns of the working class and moral conduct. Her stories often focused on the emotional challenges faced by individuals, particularly young women, as they navigated societal expectations, family responsibilities, and personal desires. Leslie's works, such as Brought Out of Peril, reflect the concerns of her era, exploring the tension between duty and personal aspirations. Her characters frequently grapple with complex moral dilemmas, highlighting the importance of sacrifice, responsibility, and selflessness in the face of adversity. Her writing style was accessible, aimed at young readers, but also resonated with a wider audience due to the universal themes of familial love and social duty. She remains a significant figure in the world of moral fiction for young audiences.
