The Two Guardians

Beschreibung

This Victorian novel follows the lives of Marian and her cousin Caroline, two orphaned girls raised under the strict guidance of their guardian, Mrs. Lyddell. As Marian struggles to maintain her principles and sense of independence within a society bound by rigid expectations, she faces challenges that test her loyalty, faith, and character. Yonge's narrative explores themes of duty, morality, and the trials of young womanhood, offering a nuanced portrait of family life and societal constraints in the 19th century.

Autor

Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823 - 1901) was an English novelist known for her huge output. Yonge was born into a religious family background, was devoted to the High Church and much influenced by John Keble, Vicar of Hursley from 1835, a near neighbour and one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement. Yonge is herself sometimes referred to as "the novelist of the Oxford Movement", as her novels frequently reflect the values and concerns of Anglo-Catholicism. She remained in Otterbourne all her life and for 71 years was a teacher in the village Sunday school.
