The Heir of Redclyffe was the first of Charlotte M. Yonge's bestselling romantic novels. Its religious tone derives from the High Church background of her family and from her friendship with a leading figure in the Oxford Movement, John Keble, who closely supervised the writing of the book. The germ of its plot was suggested by her friend Marianne Dyson.
ere he had been over the ground with Maurice de Courcy, and had heard the band.

'What did you think of it? said Philip, absently.

'They should keep better time! Really, Philip, there is one fellow with a bugle that ought to be flogged every day of his life!' said Guy, making a droll, excruciated face.

How a few words can change the whole current of ideas. The band was connected with Philip, therefore he could not bear to hear it found fault with, and adduced some one's opinion that the man in question was one of the best of their musicians.

Guy could not help shrugging his shoulders, as he laughed, and said,—'Then I shall be obliged to take to my heels if I meet the rest. Good-bye.'

      But where is county Guy?
                                —SCOTT

How was it meantime with Laura? The others were laughing and talking round her, but all seemed lost in the transcendent beam that had shone out on her. To be told by Philip that she was all to him that he had always been to her! This one idea pervaded her—too glorious, too happy for utterance, almost for distinct thought.

This is my first Charlotte Mary Yonge novel, and I found it a compelling read. The beginning was a challenge because the reader is dropped straight into the Edmonstone family's home at Hollywell and right into the dynamics of the family. There is not a lot of scene setting at the beginning or anythi

I really enjoyed this one - it took me a little while to get into, but the second half of the novel was standout, with fantastic characterisation, some incredibly powerful moments and a great exploration of family.

Apparently this novel was a megahit in its day, outperforming Dickens and Thackeray. It inspired the Pre-Raphaelites in its depiction of virtue and knightly qualities and was beloved by many prominent Victorians.
