  • Autorenportrait
    • Emily Sarah Holt (18361893) was a prolific English author of historical novels, often woven with her strong Protestant didactic themes. Born on August 22, 1836, in Cheshire, Holt meticulously researched the Middle Ages and became recognized for her detailed representations of the period. Bringing the past to life, Holt's work is characterized by its rich portrayal of historical figures and events, which she presented through the lens of her devout religious beliefs. In 'Lady Sybil's Choice: A Tale of the Crusades,' one of Holt's many writings, she delves into the tumultuous period of the Crusades with her customary finesse. The novel brings forward the experiences of the titular character Lady Sybil amidst the 12th-century crusading fervor. Holt's narrative is both engaging and educational, offering readers insights into the era's complex social and religious dynamics. Her literary style is marked by an emphasis on fidelity to historical facts, meticulous period detail, and the promotion of moral values. Holt's work resonated with her Victorian audience, who shared her interest in medievalism and Protestant ethics. Her contributions to historic fiction were substantial, with over 50 novels to her credit, several of which continued to be read and appreciated even after her death on April 29, 1893, for their historical accuracy and moral underpinnings.
