Autorenporträt
Frances Little is the pseudonym for American author Fannie Caldwell Macaulay, whose work reached the height of popularity in the early 20th century. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on June 22, 1863, Macaulay took on her pen name to provide a degree of privacy as she ventured into the literary world. She is best known for her book 'The Lady of the Decoration', published in 1906, which quickly became a bestseller and brought her significant acclaim. Based on letters purportedly written by a kindergarten teacher from the United States while in Japan, this novel is imbued with the exoticism and heartfelt emotion that were the hallmarks of Macaulay's writing style. The text gives readers insight into the life of an American woman during the Russo-Japanese War, offering a unique cultural perspective that is blended with a touch of romance and the challenges of cross-cultural experiences. The success of 'The Lady of the Decoration' positioned Frances Little as a noteworthy figure in early 20th-century literature, with her delicate prose and ability to craft vivid and engaging narratives. Yet, despite this success, Little's life and subsequent works remain relatively obscured by the penumbra of time, with 'The Lady of the Decoration' enduring as her most recognized literary contribution to date.
