Guernsey, Electra Guernsey, Clara F. GuernseyLucy Ellen Guernsey (August 12, 1826 \u2013 November 3, 1899) was a 19th-century American author who lived in Rochester, New York. She was a strong proponent of early education and moral development in children, although she never had children of her own. Throughout her most productive years (1855\u201385) she wrote over 60 novels, most of which were published by the American Sunday School Union.[1] She was an active member of the Rochester community; she founded the first sewing school for working-class children and was involved establishing the Home for Aged Women. She edited a popular religious publication, The Parish Visitor, taught an adult biblical class for Sunday School, and was the president of the Christ Church Missionary Society (1881\u201385).[2]Lucy and her sister Clara were daughters of James T. and Electra Guernsey. Her father, James, was a Rochester-area businessman and philanthropist who helped build up his community of western New York in both a cultural and moral fashion. In addition to his business ventures, he was largely responsible for introducing horticulture into the area. James was also known as an anti-slavery activist long before the abolitionist movement gained traction in the North, but among the community he was best known as a friend of the Native Americans. Among the famous Seneca chiefs he befriended, he was most intimate with Red Jacket and Cornplanter.[3] When Lucy and Clara were young, her father invited twenty or thirty Seneca braves to stay in their house.[4] This had a profound impact on Clara\u2019s development, as she later went on to write about the Seneca tribes, aid them during a food shortage, and become a daughter of a local tribe.[5] Although Lucy didn\u2019t have as deep of a connection to the Seneca\u2019s later in life, she was also a great friend like her father.[5]Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Work and involvement[edit]Literary genre[edit]Literary works[edit]References[edit]Work and involvement[edit]From an early age, Guernsey showed high potential for literary success later in life. After being home schooled she attended Miss Araminta Doolittle\u2019s academy where she was noted as a model of \u201cdecorum and studiousness.\u201d[6] In later years, Guernsey devoted herself to charity work and editorial work at St. Luke\u2019s church. She was an active member of the Rochester Female Charitable Society and a lifelong member of St. Luke\u2019s church. Towards the beginning of her career as an author, she wrote for magazines such as Atlantic Monthly and Harpers, in addition to her publications with the American Sunday School Union.[5] Guernsey worked with another religious publishing firm formerly known as Thomas Nelson and Sons (currently Thomas Nelson). During the last 11 productive years of her life she was in charge of editing the Parish Visitor, a religious publication intended for distribution in prisons, homes, and hospitals.[1]Literary genre[edit]A majority of Guernsey\u2019s novels can be classified as works of domestic fictions. She often focused on problems associated with reaching responsible maturity and the implication of family life during these developmental times.[1] In particular, Guernsey is most distinguished for her astute observations of people and animals as well as her natural dialogue. Often the American Sunday School Union publications were short pamphlets, yet Guernsey would write 200-page novels.[1] Due to the sheer volume of her work, Guernsey was criticized for poorly constructed plots, but nevertheless, the content and morals of her stories were representative of the community\u2019s preferred juvenile teachings.Literary works[edit]Alice and BessieBinney the Beaver and Other StoriesBlue Socks; or, Count the CostThe Chevalier’s Daughter: Being One of the Stanton Corbet ChroniclesThe Child’s Treasure of StoriesChristmas at Cedar Hill: A Holiday Story-BookThe Christmas Earnings; or, Ethel Fletcher’s TemptationClaribel; or, Rest at LastCousin Deborah’s Story, or, The Great PlagueCub\u2019s Apple; or, Next TimeA Dark Night; or, Fear of Man Bringeth a SnareDuty and InclinationEthel\u2019s Trial in Becoming a MissionaryThe Fairchilds; or, Do What You CanThe Foster-Sisters: or, Lucy Corbet’s ChronicleGrandmother Brown’s School-Days; or, Education As It Was Seventy Years SinceThe Heiress of McGregor; or, Living for SelfHenry Willson’s Voyage: or, Only in FunThe Hidden Treasure: A Tale Of Troublous TimesIrish AmyJenny and the BirdsJenny and the Insects, or, Little Toilers and Their IndustriesKitty Maynard; or, To Obey Is Better Than SacrificeLady Betty’s Governess: or, The Corbet ChroniclesLady Rosamond’s Book; or, Dawnings of Light – Second Part of The Stanton-Corbet ChroniclesLangham Revels; or, The Fair Dame of StantonA Lent In Earnest; or, Sober Thoughts for Solemn DaysLoveday’s History: A Tale of Many ChangesMabel, or, The Bitter Root, A Tale of the Times of James the FirstMeat-eaters, with Some Account of Their Haunts and HabitsMilly; or, The Hidden Cross.Miss Georgine\u2019s HusbandThe Mission-Box; or, Doing Good and getting GoodThe Mother’s Mission: Sketches from Real LifeMyra Sherwood’s Cross, and How She Bore ItNellie; or, the Best InheritanceNo Talent and Phil\u2019s PansiesThe Object of LifeOld Stanfield HouseOldham; or, Beside All WatersOnly in Fun; or, Henry Wilson\u2019s VoyageOpposite NeighboursOrphan Nieces; or, Duty and InclinationPattie Durant: A tale of 1662Percy’s HolidaysReady Work for Willing Hands: or, The Story of Edith AllisonThe Red PlantRhoda’s Education; or, Too Much of a Good ThingThe School-Girls’ Treasury; or, Stories for Thoughtful GirlsSophie Kennedy’s ExperienceThe Sign of the CrossStory of a Hessian: A Tale of the Revolution in New JerseyStraight ForwardThe Straight PathSunday-School Exhibition and its ConsequencesSword of De BardwellTabby’s and Her Travels; or, The Holiday Adventures of a Kitten: A Christmas and New-Year’s StoryThe Tame Turtle: or, Geordie McGregor’s TroubleThe Tattler; or, The History of Patty SteeleThree Girls of the RevolutionThrough Unknown Ways: or, The Journal-Books of Mrs. Dorathea StudleyThe Twin Roses And How They Were TrainedUnknown WaysUpward and Onward; or, The History of Rob.
