EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) gazes intently out at the viewer with a thoughtful expression, her hands delicately folded in her lap, adorned with intricate lace. Born in Devon, England, Yonge was a prolific and influential Victorian novelist, whose works continue to captivate readers more than a century after they were first published. Born into a large and literary family, Yonge showed an early aptitude for writing, publishing her first novel, "The Daisy Chain," at the age of 23. Over the course of her long and productive career, she wrote over 100 novels, many of which explored the lives and experiences of women in Victorian society. Her novels were known for their realistic portrayals of middle-class life, as well as their moral and social themes. Despite her success as a writer, Yonge remained modest and humble, always putting her family and community before her own ambitions. She was a dedicated and loving mother, raising ten children with her husband, and was also an active member of her local community, serving as a school governor and a leader in the Anglican church. This portrait, taken in middle age, captures Yonge at a time when she was at the height of her creative powers. Her aged yet vibrant eyes reflect the depth of her intelligence and the richness of her imagination, while the delicate lace on her collar and cuffs add a touch of elegance and refinement to the image. Yonge's enduring legacy as a novelist and writer continues to inspire and delight readers around the world, making her an enduring symbol of Victorian literature and women's achievements.
