Produktbeschreibung

In 'A Girl of the People' by L. T. Meade, readers are transported to late 19th century London, exploring the lives of the lower class through the eyes of the protagonist, Rosamund Kane. Meade's writing style is characterized by detailed descriptions of the social issues faced by the working class, weaving a tapestry of empathy and understanding for their struggles. The novel is a poignant commentary on class divide and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making it a relevant piece of literature in its historical context. Through Rosamund's journey, Meade delves deep into the intricacies of societal inequalities with sensitivity and nuance. L. T. Meade, a prolific writer and advocate for women's rights, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations of the lower classes to pen 'A Girl of the People.' Her background in social work and journalism provided her with a unique perspective that shines through in the authenticity of the characters and settings in the novel. Meade's commitment to social reform and empowerment of women is evident in her portrayal of Rosamund's strength and resilience. I highly recommend 'A Girl of the People' to readers interested in exploring the nuances of class struggle in Victorian era literature. Meade's insightful narrative and compelling character development make this novel a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of social issues and human nature.

Autorenporträt

Writing under the name L. T. Meade, Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith (1844-1914) wrote a lot of stories for girls. Her father was the Rev. R. T. Meade of Nohoval, County Cork, and she was born in Bandon, County Cork. After that, she went to London and got married to Alfred Toulmin Smith there in September 1879. She started writing when she was 17 years old and finished over 280 books during her lifetime. In fact, eleven new books with her name on them came out in the first few years after she died, showing how productive she was. Most people knew her for her books for kids. The most popular was A World of Girls, which came out in 1886. 37,000 versions of A World of Girls were sold, and it had a big impact on school stories for girls in the 20th century. She did, however, write "sentimental" and "sensational" stories, religious stories, historical books, adventure stories, romances, and mysteries, some of which were co-written by men. Dr. Clifford Halifax was the first of these. They worked together for the first time in 1893 and wrote six books together. After a year, she worked with Robert Eustace for the first time and together they published eleven books.
