The following is from the History Online website:
Recent attempts at a critical recuperation of the fiction of Charlotte M. Yonge have largely sidestepped the issue of her work's commitment to a religious perspective. June Sturrock's brief 1995 monograph, “Heaven and Home”: Charlotte M. Yonge's Domestic Fiction and the Victorian Debate over Women, is focused on the way in which Yonge's Tractarian beliefs provided a framework within which a conservative feminist account of an independent social role for women could be articulated, but takes those beliefs themselves as givens. Catherine Sandbach-Dahlström's more substantial 1984 study, Be Good Sweet Maid: Charlotte Yonge's Domestic Fiction: A Study in Dogmatic Purpose and Fictional Form, whilst noting a relationship between apparent changes in Yonge's religious beliefs and differences in the form of her novels, is characterized by a formalist mode of interpretation which tends to bracket off the question of how Yonge presents religious belief in her novels from any wider context in Victorian religious thought.

Description
In her time Charlotte Yonge (whose publications from first to last span the precise years of Victoria's reign) was as popular as Dickens. Her novels reflect her close involvement with John Keble, inaugurator of the Movement, and record every stage and detail of the Movement throughout the century at parish level, and how it was received by the middle-classes in a rapidly-changing society. In the light of new biographical discoveries, published and unpublished letters, non-fiction material such as her articles in the Monthly Packet, and consequent re-reading of Charlotte Yonge's novels, this study reveals the pervasiveness of the Oxford Movement in society.
Reviews
"Detailing the work of the Oxford Movement on Yonge's novels, this work is useful as an introduction to the too-often-ignored literary aspect of the Oxford Movement. Its extensive plot summaries are helpful for the person who wishes to do more research in this area, while the reader who knows little of the Oxford Movement will be guided by the informative footnotes that detail important events of the era, such as the Hampden controversy. . . . This biography offers a useful survey of the work of Charlotte Yonge and will be welcomed by those who seek an introduction to the literary aspect of the Oxford Movement." -- Victorian Studies

"Reading Charlotte M. Yonge into the novels of Barbara Pym"
in
All This Reading: The Literary World of Barbara
Pym
Ed. Frauke Elisabeth Lenckos and Ellen J. Miller
ISBN: 0838639569
Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press 2003
(From the publisher's website)
Lenckos and Miller divide these 19 essays on the brilliant British novelist Barbara Pym (1915-80) into two parts. After brief essay on Pym's Life, the first ten essays concern "the significance of reading" in her novels and address such topics as the importance of literature to her characters, the "position of the female reader in literature," the role of the library in the lives of Pym and of her characters, "the amused observation and mild sense of irony" in Some Tame Gazell, and her autobiographical metaphors of aging and dying in three novels. The remaining nine essays, on "the literary encounters and collaborations" in Pym's life and works, concern her relationship to her publisher; the comfort of her work offered John Bayley as his wife, Iris Murdoch, succumbed to Alzheimer's; her epistolary relationship to Philip Larkin; the effect of the novels of Charlotte M. Yonge on Pym's work. Pym writes of those whose lives would otherwise be unnoticed. These essays probe the subtleties, undercurrents, and connections in her work, both to other novels and to the reading public. As Hazel Holt, Pym's literary executor, observes, "once you've read the novels, she is with you forever."

What Katy read : feminist re-readings
of "classic" stories for girls
London: Macmillan, 1995
Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, 1995
ISBN: 0877454930
Contents:
Introduction -- Susan Warner: The wide, wide world -- Charlotte Yonge: The Daisy Chain -- Louisa May Alcott: Little Women -- Susan Coolidge: What Katy did -- E. Nesbit: The Railway Children -- L.M. Montgomery: Anne of Green Gables -- Frances Hodgson Burnett: The Secret Garden -- Angela Brazil: The Madcap of the School. Includes bibliographical references and index.From the Publisher's Website:
What Katy Read focuses on a much neglected area of literary criticism: literature for girls. Written by women for children, such texts have been doubly marginalized by the critical establishment. Shirley Foster and Judy Simons use twentieth-century feminist critical practice to open up fresh perspectives on popular fiction for girls written between 1850 and 1920. The study analyses both American and British novels for girls which have acquired 'classic' status, from the domestic myth to the school story, and considers their scope and influence in providing role models for girl readers.From Library Journal:
Intrigued that generations of women have read and relished the same juvenile books, scholars Foster and Simons re-examine eight classics of girls' fiction from the perspective of 20th-century feminist critics. Among the British and American titles they scrutinize, those most familiar to present-day U.S. readers include Little Women, The Secret Garden, What Katy Did, and Anne of Green Gables. The texts are analyzed with the aim of defining the genre (fiction written by women for children), explaining the sociohistorical context of the works, and discovering why and how the novels "spoke to their age and continue to speak to today's." This soundly researched study offers insightful and provocative views of literate women and the books they have written and read. Highly recommended for all literature collections.– Carol A. McAllister, Coll. of William & Mary Lib., Williamsburg, Virginia.

But in times of much leisure and unbounded curiosity, when excitement of every kind is sought after with a morbid eagerness, this part of the merit of our Liturgy, is likely in some measure to be lost, on many even of its sincere admirers: the very tempers which most require such discipline, setting themselves, in general, most decidedly against it."

This third volume of Q. D. Leavis’s essays brings together pieces on hitherto unexplored aspects of Victorian literature. Most of these date from towards the end of her life and are previously unpublished. There are also essays and reviews which appeared originally in Scrutiny. Mrs Leavis focuses on the novel of religious controversy, the Anglo-Irish novel, women writers of the nineteenth-century, and certain aspects of George Eliot’s work. She examines these, and other relevant writing, from literary, historical and sociological points of view. The volume affords valuable new insights into nineteenth-century literature, and affirms Mrs Leavis’s standing as a pioneering and penetrating critic. (from the CUP website for this book)

The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) - Letters to 1849
and Letters to 1859
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.

Onslow, Barbara
Women
of the Press in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Palgrave/St. Martin's, 2000, ISBN 0-333-68378-1
To 19th-century writers the dynamic periodical press seemed both an influential medium and a means to pay the bills. A suprising number of women, despite limited education, parental opposition and the competitive nature of this developing profession sought to earn a living through journalism. Others saw the press as a valuable mechanism for educating the masses or a powerful channel for influencing public opinion. How did these women fare in Grub Street? Could they harness the power of the press? Who were the lady journalists? The women featured in this book range from Mary Russell Mitford to Flora Shaw to Margaret Gatty. Drawing on varied contemporary sources—memoirs, letters, magazines, journals, newspapers, and contemporary fiction about journalism—and her own database covering hundreds of women, Barbara Onslow assesses their contributions to journalism and how it affected the careers of writers as diverse as George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Anna Maria Hall, and Mary Braddon and Charlotte Yonge.
From The Critics – Booknews
Though early studies of the press have focused on the accomplishments of men, journalism was an avenue taken by many 19th-century women seeking to effect social and political change or simply make a living. This overview of women's involvement in English newspapers and periodicals draws on memoirs, letters, magazines, journals, newspapers, and contemporary fiction as well as Onslow's (U. of Reading) database covering hundreds of women. The work assesses their contribution to journalism and how it affected the careers of writers such as George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Anna Maria Hall, Mary Braddon, and Charlotte Yonge. An appendix provides brief biographies of 100 women mentioned in the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, Oregon (booknews.com).

renegades. Victorian anti-feminist women novelists
(Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1996)
ISBN 0312160577
This study focuses on the work of four Victorian anti-feminist women writers -- Eliza Lynn Linton, Charlotte M. Yonge, Mrs. Humphrey Ward, and Margaret Oliphant -- examining their self-contradictory responses to the debate about women's role in family life and society. Individual chapters review women's anti-feminism from 1792 to 1850, and trace connections between attitudes in the 1890s and the "backlash" culture of the 1990s. Fresh readings of their best-known novels emphasize the inconsistencies of their masculine and feminine ideals.

“Manliness and the myth of Hercules in Charlotte M. Yonge’s
My Young Alcides,”
International Journal of the Classical Tradition
(IJCT) 5 (1998–1999) 383-414.
This summary is taken from the Journal's website:
Charlotte Yonge’s novel My Young Alcides (1875) transposes the myth of Hercules into a setting of English country town life, c. 1858. The story of the spiritual development of a very masculine hero is recounted through characters and incidents which closely parallel those of the myth. Two-level reading both identifies the mythical referent, and interprets it in terms of the Christian struggle. Though Yonge did not regard the book as an allegory, it incorporates allegorising elements into the realistic novel. There are many similarities with The Heir of Redclyffe (1853): in both works, use of a literary or mythical paradigm highlights crucial episodes while maintaining the Tractarian attitude of reserve towards religious experience; heroic and chivalrous Christian virtue is manifested in every-day life; and a dominant contemporary conception of manliness is renegotiated by showing male heroes displaying virtues usually perceived as feminine and identifying these as universally and appropriately Christian.

"I wish anyone could tell us what the cost of starting a magazine would be," the novelist Charlotte Mary Yonge wrote to her friend Marianne Dyson in 1850. A few months later, in January 1851, the magazine she had in mind, The Monthly Packet, began publication, with the twenty-nine year old Yonge as editor, a position she was to hold for more than 40 years. The Monthly Packet was, as its first editorial proclaimed, primarily designed for a readership of "young girls, or maidens, or young ladies, whatever you like to be called." Its aims were frankly and unashamedly didactic: Above all it is the especial desire and prayer of those who address you through the pages of this Magazine that what you may find there may tend to make you more steadfast and dutiful daughters of our own beloved Catholic church in England, and may go alongside in all respects with the teaching, both doctrinal and practical, of the Prayer Book. For we live in a time of more than ordinary trial and our middle path seems to have grown narrower than ever. The full title of the periodical indicates this mission: The Monthly Packet ... "

Thompson, Nicola Diana
Reviewing Sex: Gender and the Reception of
Victorian Novels
(New York: New York University Press 1996)
Cloth and Paperback; includes b&w illustrations.
ISBN 0814782116
The text below is from the publisher's website:
When Scenes of Clerical Life appeared anonymously in 1853 the Saturday Review pictured its author, George Eliot, as a bearded Cambridge clergyman and the revered father of several children. When Anthony Trollope published Nina Balatka and Linda Tressel anonymously in 1867, the London Review argued that the internal evidence required the author to be female.
Gender played a pivotal role in the reception of Victorian novels and was not only an analytical category used by Victorian reviewers to conceptualize, interpret, and evaluate novels, but in some cases was the primary category. This book analyzes over 100 nineteenth-century reviews of several prominent novels, both canonical and non-canonical, chosen for the various ways in which they conformed with and deviated from conventional gender stereotypes. Among these titles are Charles Reade's It Is Never Too Late to Mend, Emily Bront's Wuthering Heights, Anthony Trollope's Barchester Towers and Charlotte Yonge's The Heir of Redclyffe.
This study goes beyond the intuitive notion that a double standard existed in the Victorian era which undervalues the work of women writers. Male writers, such as Trollope, were in fact also vulnerable to the masculine/feminine hierarchies of Victorian literary criticism. Some women writers, on the other hand, actually benefitted from gendered evaluations. Charlotte Yonge, for instance, conformed so closely to the ideal and idealized view of feminine writing that she is chivalrously exempted from more critical examinations of intellectual content. Having unearthed often ignored or neglected sources, Thompson examines the ways in which Victorian constructions of literary reputations were filtered through preconceptions about gender and writing.

This collection of essays focuses attention on a number of Victorian women writers popular in their own time but forgotten or neglected by literary history, from Margaret Oliphant and Charlotte Yonge to Mary Ward, Marie Corelli, 'Ouida' and E. Nesbit. Particular emphasis is given to writings concerned with 'the woman question'. Discussions of marriage, matriarchy and divorce, satire, suffragette writing, writing for children, and links between literature and art illuminate the complex cultural and literary roles, and the engaging contributions, of Victorian women writers.
Das Viktorianische Zeitalter war die "Hochzeit" für Weibliches Schreiben und Frauenliteratur. Trotzdem hat sich die Literaturwissenschaft des 20. Jahrhunderts nur mit einer kleinen Anzahl von bereits bekannten, rezipierten Autorinnen befasst. Diese Essays, von renommierten WissenschaftlerInnen (u.a. Valerie Sanders, Monica Cohen, Lyn Pykett, Beth Sutton-Rampsek), aus dem angloamerikanischen und kanadischen Raum, versuchen diese Lücke aufzuarbeiten: sie holen in ihrer Zeit erfolgreiche und bekannte Autorinnen aus der Vergessenheit, vor allem solche, die sich der Frauenfrage und Emanzipation gewidmet haben: Harriet Martineau, Charlotte Mary Yonge, Mary Ward, Marie Corelli.

The abstract below is from the publisher's website:
"The girls of today cannot see themselves in Miss Yonge and that is their chief demand from literature" – Edith Sichel, Monthly Review, May 1901 The depths to which the reputation of popular conservative Victorian novelist, Charlotte Yonge, had sunk by the end of the nineteenth century are reflected in Oscar Wilde's reaction to being told a condemned man was reading one of Yonge's novels: "My heart was turned by the eyes of the doomed man, but if he reads The Heir of Redclyffe it's perhaps as well to let the law take its course" (Ellman 202).

Mary Yonge's The Daisy Chain"
SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 - Volume 47, Number 4, Autumn
2007, pp. 881-899
Extract from abstract: As an established author musing on the changes in women?s professionalization that had occurred during her lifetime, Charlotte Mary Yonge remarked that women's involvement in bazaars had changed the way her society thought about women earning money. By examining the depiction of a charity bazaar in The Daisy Chain, we see how she used the methods and logic of the charity bazaar to represent her own participation in the publishing marketplace. In 1877, as an established novelist, Charlotte Mary Yonge reflected on a change that had happened during the course of her career. As a child, she had understood that a lady did not accept payment for her work, yet just thirty years later, she observed, "everybody does want to make money." She mused, "I suppose the bazaar system first led to the change of tone." In typical understated fashion, Yonge pinpointed a seemingly minor element of Victorian life that, according to her observations, had fundamentally changed society's attitude toward women earning money: "the bazaar system."

"Charlotte M. Yonge and the 'historical harem' of Edward Augustus
Freeman"
Journal of Victorian Culture,
Vol. 11.2, (2006), pp. 226-255
Although largely known for her fiction, Charlotte Yonge was also a prolific writer of history books. When E. A. Freeman as Editor of a series of textbooks needed an author for a History of France, the publisher Macmillan encouraged him to add Yonge to his “historic harem” of women writers. The fraught relationship which developed between Yonge and Freeman can be glimpsed in their correspondence and is revealed more blatantly in his letters to Macmillan's, to other male historians and to Edith Thompson, a younger and more biddable member of the “harem”. They expose the dynamics of how men such as Freeman conducted a campaign to create, define and police a new ‘manly’ academic discipline of History.

' "‘The self-controlled vivacity of high spiritual existence’’:
Charlotte M. Yonge’s manly father-figures’
Paper given at Shaping
Belief: Culture, Politics, and Religion in Nineteenth-Century Writing
(conference)
June 2005
When Kitty Moberly used these unusual words to describe Charlotte Yonge, Keble, and her father George Moberly, she wanted to encapsulate the vibrancy and excitement of their lives in and around Winchester, to counteract the notion that to be content with the ‘small’ affairs of the parish and community was evidence of a failure of nerve. An examination of Yonge’s real and fictional father-figures at mid-century reveals their conception of an organic society rooted in familial and communal ties and is evidence of a more active engagement with social issues than usually associated with Tractarians. Fundamental to their vision was the role of the father. Yonge provided suggestive versions of how to perform fatherhood both within families and the wider community, promulgating a pattern of energetic goodness based on the remarkable men within her own circle to counteract the withdrawn sterility of the Tractarian man as commonly portrayed. With the serialization of Henrietta's Wish (1849-50) in The Churchman’s Companion, she made her own subtle contribution to this debate. This can fruitfully be studied as a counterweight to Charles Kingsley’s Yeast (serialized in Fraser’s Magazine in 1848), his story about rural discontent and deprivation in which his hero trumpets Kingsley’s own brand of red-blooded Christianity compared to that of a lacklustre Tractarian cousin.
Walton, Susan
"Imagining Men: Charlotte M. Yonge and Mid-Victorian Masculinities"
(Ph. D. thesis 2006)
This thesis studies Yonge's writings as a route into the cultural concepts of masculinity at mid-century. The first two chapters are concerned with her close family connections with the Army. After a consideration of the gradual shift in attitudes to the military in wider society during the 1850s and the problem of fashioning brothers and sons into soldiers, Yonge's early enthusiasm for soldiering as reflected in Kenneth; or the Rearguard of the Grand Army (1850) is contrasted with the doubts apparent in The Young Stepmother (1861) set at the time of the Crimean War. Chapter Three explores notions of fatherhood both within the family and the community with studies of Henrietta's Wish (1850) and Hopes and Fears (1860). The next chapter examines Yonge's role in the promotion of mission work as a virile, attractive occupation for educated men, a perfect combination of valour without violence. Finally, an account of the difficulties of Yonge's relationship with the historian E. A. Freeman is given to illuminate the gendered assumptions interwoven into different categories of history-writing. This concludes with a brief assessment of The Little Duke (1854).
