Praise for the Print Edition

She depicts, in glowing colors, the persecutions of the Albigenses, and every page displays the same vigorous style that characterized all her previous writings.

—Hunt’s Merchants’ Magazine and Commercial Review

It paints, in the colors of truth and with the picturesque expression flowing from the writer’s ardent heart, the persecutions of the Albigenses; the condition of that church in the twelfth century, beset on all sides, but apprehending no evil—dwelling lovingly in the midst of a people devoted to the gentler arts of a land of beauty and of song; marked out as a prey by Innocent III, who knew that the circulation of the Word of God in a rural district might shake the pillars of his throne, and grind his gigantic power into dust.

—Sartain’s Union Magazine of Literature and Art

This last tribute of such a gifted pen will be read with thrilling interest.

—The Baptist Memorial and Monthly Record

She thinks deeply and accurately, is a great analyst of the human heart, and clothes her ideas in the most appropriate and eloquent language.

About Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna

Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna was a popular Victorian English writer and novelist who wrote under the pseudonym Charlotte Elizabeth. She was "a woman of strong mind, powerful feeling, and of no inconsiderable share of tact." Her work focused on promoting women's rights and evangelical Protestantism, as seen in her book Protection; or, The Candle and the Dog, in which the following characteristic quote appears: "Our greatest blessings come to us by prayer, and the studying of God's word." Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote of her memoir Personal Recollections (1841): "We know of no piece of autobiography in the English language which can compare with this in richness of feeling and description and power of exciting interest."
