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.
