Autor

Clara Louise Burnham (1854-1927) was an American novelist renowned for her wholesome, didactic, and engaging narratives, often merging romantic fiction with moral undercurrents. Her literary career commenced in the closing quarter of the 19th century, encompassing the refined elegance and optimism of the Gilded Age. Burnham's prose was characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and an emphasis on virtuous protagonists. Notably, her novel 'Sweet Clover,' a work that epitomizes her narrative style, advocates for values and virtue through its characters and plot developments. In addition to 'Sweet Clover,' Clara Louise Burnham authored a myriad of other books that contributed to her reputation as a significant figure in American literature. Her other notable works include 'Dear Little Girl' (1887), 'Dr. Latimer: A Story of Casco Bay' (1895), and 'The Inner Flame' (1912), all of which underscore themes of purity, religious faith, and the trials and triumphs of love. Burnham's writing not only reflected the societal norms and expectations of her era but also sought to instill a moral compass within her readers. Although much of her work may be classified as genteel and sentimental by contemporary standards, Clara Louise Burnham remains an exemplar of the late Victorian literary ethos.
