The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901)

Citation: Mitchell, Charlotte and Jordan, Ellen and Schinske, Helen (2007) The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901). [Transcribed text]

Charlotte Yonge is one of the most influential and important of Victorian women writers; but study of her work has been handicapped by a tendency to patronise both her and her writing, by the vast number of her publications and by a shortage of information about her professional career. Scholars have had to depend mainly on the work of her first biographer, a loyal disciple, a situation which has long been felt to be unsatisfactory. We hope that this edition of her correspondence will provide for the first time a substantial foundation of facts for the study of her fiction, her historical and educational writing and her journalism, and help to illuminate her biography and also her significance in the cultural and religious history of the Victorian age.The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) edited by Charlotte Mitchell, Ellen Jordan and Helen Schinske. A complete electronic edition of the Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge is available online at http://www.yongeletters.com/
