Produktbeschreibung
Rosa Campbell Praed (1851-1935), often credited as Mrs Campbell Praed (and also known as Rosa Caroline Praed), was an Australian novelist. Her large bibliography covered multiple genres, and books for children as well as adults. She has been described as the first Australian novelist to achieve a significant international reputation. Rosa had a passion for reading and writing from childhood. Many of her early experiences were used for the political and social life of her early books. In 1880 she published her first book, An Australian Heroine. This book was followed by Policy and Passion (1881), one of the best of her earlier books. A large proportion of her novels were based on her Australian experiences. Others dealt with the occult, with spiritualism, or with abnormal states of mind.

Autorenporträt
Rosa Praed (1851-1935), born Rosa Caroline Murray-Prior, was an Australian novelist with a prolific literary career, penning over 40 novels. She was one of the first Australian-born women to achieve a significant literary career, and her work often reflected the ambivalent feelings she held about her homeland after moving to England. Her narratives frequently explore the social and cultural dynamics of both the Australian frontier and Victorian society. One of her notable works, 'The Romance of a Station' (1889), delves into the complexities of life in rural Australia, capturing the challenges and experiences faced by settlers, and illuminating the relationships between settlers and Indigenous Australians. Praed's writing is characterized by its vivid descriptions, romantic elements, and often, a touch of the supernatural. She was adept at portraying the emotional spectrum of her characters and the environment they inhabited. Praed's legacy lies not just in her portrayal of Australian life but also in her exploration of female independence and her subtle criticism of the patriarchy and colonialism, themes that were quite progressive for her time.
