Produktbeschreibung

In "Herb of Grace," Rosa Nouchette Carey weaves a poignant narrative that explores themes of love, sacrifice, and personal growth within the constraints of Victorian society. Through the eyes of her protagonist, the novel delves into the complexities of female independence and societal expectation, using rich, descriptive prose that evokes both the serene landscapes and the inner turmoils of its characters. Carey's literary style is characterized by her keen psychological insight and deft character development, making each interaction resonate deeply with readers, thus anchoring the novel firmly within the context of late 19th century English literature where women'Äôs roles were becoming increasingly scrutinized and defined. Carey, a prominent author of her time, was known for her keen observations of women's lives and social conditions, which were shaped by her own experiences within a patriarchal society. Growing up in a middle-class family and surrounded by the artistic and literary influences of her time, Carey was well-acquainted with the nuances of personal and social struggle. This background provided her with a unique lens through which she crafted her narratives, often illuminating the everyday challenges faced by women. "Herb of Grace" is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that thoughtfully examines the intersection of personal desire and societal obligation. Carey's nuanced storytelling invites reflection and dialogue, making it an essential read for those who appreciate character-driven narratives that retain a timeless relevance.

Autorenporträt

Rosa Nouchette Carey was an English children's book author and popular novelist who lived from 27 September 1840 to 9 July 1809; her writings were seen as healthy for girls and mirrored the standards of the day. Still, they are "not entirely bereft of grit and realism." Rosa was the sixth of seven children born in Stratford-le-Bow to shipbroker William Henry Carey (d. 1867) and his wife, Maria Jane, who was Edward J. Wooddill's daughter. She was raised in South Hampstead and on Tryons Road in Hackney, Middlesex, in London. She received her education at home and at the St. John's Wood Ladies' Institute, where she was friends and a contemporary of the poet Mathilde Blind (1841-1896), who was born in Germany. After her parents passed away, her family's obligations grew along with her writing career. Following the death of her mother in 1870, she and her single sister took on the role of housekeeper and caregiver for her brother, who was left widower. After the brother passed away and the sister got married, Carey was left to raise the kids by herself. Mrs. Henry Wood, a famous novelist, was one of her close acquaintances. About 1875, the poet Helen Marion Burnside moved in with her, and after her husband's death, Carey's sister came back to look after them. On July 19, 1909, Carey passed away from lung cancer in her Putney, London, residence. She was laid to rest in Hampstead Cemetery.
