Mary Martha Sherwood

    Mary Martha Sherwood fut une auteure influente pour la jeunesse, dont les œuvres exploraient les thèmes de l'évangélisme et de la domesticité. Sa production prolifique, comptant des centaines de livres et d'articles, a façonné les opinions des jeunes lecteurs britanniques sur la vie domestique et la relation de la Grande-Bretagne avec l'Inde. Bien que son style soit finalement tombé en désuétude face à des goûts littéraires changeants, son importance dans la littérature jeunesse du XIXe siècle demeure indéniable.
