Autorenporträt
Rosa Nouchette Carey (1840–1909) was a distinguished Victorian novelist known for her sympathetic approach to the depiction of domestic life and the challenges faced by young women. Her literary career spanned several decades during which she authored over forty novels that resonated with the values and concerns of her time. 'Not Like Other Girls' is one of her noted works, exemplifying her talent for creating narratives that combine romance with social commentary. Carey's writing is characterized by a gentle didacticism, as she often highlighted the virtues of thrift, honesty, and perseverance. Her novels typically feature strong female protagonists who navigate the complexities of Victorian society, balancing familial, romantic, and personal aspirations. Carey's contribution to the genre of girls' fiction has been acknowledged by scholars who note that her works reflected a transition in the depiction of women from passive to active agents in their own lives (Foster and Simons, 1995). Apart from 'Not Like Other Girls', some of her other popular novels include 'Nellie's Memories' (1868), 'Wee Wifie' (1875), and 'Mollie's Prince' (1899). Carey's enduring appeal can be attributed to her ability to craft engaging narratives that also offered moral guidance to her readers, a hallmark of the late 19th-century literature.
