Autorenporträt
Jeannie Gunn (1870-1961) was an Australian novelist, teacher, and Returned and Services League of Australia volunteer. She is best known for her works "We of the Never-Never" (1908) and "The Little Black Princess" (1905), which provide vivid portrayals of life in the Australian Outback. Gunn was born in Carlton, Australia, and spent much of her life in remote areas, which greatly influenced her writing. "We of the Never-Never" is a memoir based on her time living with her husband in the Northern Territory, offering insights into the challenges of frontier life and the harshness of the Australian landscape. It is celebrated for its detailed descriptions of the environment and the resilience required to thrive in such an isolated setting. In "The Little Black Princess," Gunn explores themes of cultural difference and identity through the story of an Aboriginal girl raised by a European woman, reflecting Gunn's sensitivity to Aboriginal culture. Both works highlight her deep connection to Australia's land and people and her unique perspective on early 20th-century Australian life. Gunn's legacy as a writer and volunteer continues to be recognized for her contribution to Australian literature and her ability to capture the spirit of the Australian frontier.
