Charles Kingsley
Na década de 50, após ter participado nas manifestações cartistas de 1848, adere ao Movimento Socialista Cristão, onde luta por melhores condições de vida da classe tra¬balhadora. Em 1855, publica Glaucus, o primeiro livro de divulgação científica escrito para crianças. Aceita as teses evolucionistas de Darwin, de quem era amigo, não ven¬do qualquer contradição entre a religião e a ciência, ao contrário da maior parte dos clérigos da época. Em 1869, abandona a carreira universitária, tornando-se cónego da catedral de Chester, entre 1870 e 1873, e depois da abadia de Westminster. Morre em 1875, vítima de pneumonia.
Das 28 obras que publicou, destacam-se os romances históricos Hypatia (1853), Westward Ho! (1855) e Hereward the Wake (1866); a ficção de intervenção social Yeast (1848) e Alton Locke (1850); e os livros para crianças The Heroes (1856) e Os Bebés da Água (1863).
