Mengenai Pengarang
Emily Sarah Holt (1836-1893) was a prolific English novelist of the Victorian era, known for her historical fiction, which often centered around Protestant themes. Born into a family of a well-off cotton manufacturer, Holt’s upbringing provided her with the educational resources that would later influence her writing career. An advocate for Protestant values, much of her storytelling embraced religious and didactic undertones. Her literary career commenced in the mid-19th century, and over her lifetime, she authored over 50 novels, contributing richly to the historical fiction genre.
One of her notable works, ‘A Forgotten Hero, ‘ exemplifies her approach to historical narrative, with careful attention to period detail and moral instruction. Holt’s narratives seldom diverged from her mission to reinforce her Protestant beliefs through vivid portrayals of history from a Protestant perspective. Her strong commitment to her faith led her to focus on the Tudor and Stuart periods, times of significant religious strife and reformation in England. Although Holt’s works have faded into relative obscurity in modern times, in her era, they were a vehicle for her to express her ardent religious principles and provide a moral compass to her readers. Her style embodies the quintessence of Victorian didactic literature, and she remains a subject of study for those interested in the intersections of religion, literature, and history during the 19th century.
