Résumé

Résumé : « Young Folks History of England » by Charlotte Mary Yonge offers a vivid journey through Britains past, tailored for young readers. From Roman invasions to the Victorian era, Yonge blends monarchic sagas with cultural milestones, presenting complex events like the Norman Conquest and the English Civil War in an engaging, age-appropriate style. Her narrative emphasizes moral lessons and national pride, reflecting 19th-century educational values while celebrating figures such as Alfred the Great and Elizabeth I. The book stands out for its structured yet lively approach, weaving together battles, treaties, and societal shifts without overwhelming detail. Chapters on the Tudors and Stuarts highlight Englands religious transformations, while sections on colonial expansion address the empires global footprint. Yonge balances grandeur with humility, acknowledging both triumphs and controversies in a manner rare for period literature. Ideal for educators and parents seeking a foundational text, this work bridges storytelling and scholarship, making it a timeless resource in childrens historical education.
Biographie : Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823.1901), a pioneering figure in Victorian childrens literature, dedicated her career to merging education with moral instruction. Influenced by the Oxford Movement and her mentor John Keble, she authored over 160 works, including the bestselling The Heir of Redclyffe (1853). Her emphasis on duty and piety resonated with 19th-century readers, though modern critics note her conservative social views. « Young Folks History of England » exemplifies her ability to simplify intricate historical narratives without sacrificing depth. Yonge also edited The Monthly Packet, a magazine for young women, further cementing her role as a cultural educator. Despite her focus on Anglican values, her works remain studied for their literary craftsmanship and historical accessibility.
