"Young Folks' History of Rome" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book provides a concise yet engaging narrative chronicling the history of Rome, from its mythical founding through significant events and figures up to the reign of Charles the Great. By weaving mythology with historical facts, it likely aims to captivate young readers' interest in the ancient world. The opening of the work begins with a description of Italy, highlighting its geographical and historical context as the cradle of Roman civilization. Yonge discusses the early inhabitants of the region, including the Etruscans, Sabines, and Latins, and sets the stage for the migration stories that would lead to the founding of Rome. She introduces the legendary figures like Æneas, the Trojan hero, and touches upon key mythical events that shaped the narrative of Rome's early history. The narrative is rich in detail, making it clear that the author's intention is to provide readers—especially young ones—an accessible view of Rome's storied past, combining mythological elements with historical context.
