Produktbeschreibung
Amelia Edith Barr (1831 - 1919) was a British American novelist. After the death of her husband and several children in Texas she moved with her three remaining daughters to New York City in 1869 where she began to write for religious periodicals and to publish a series of semi-historical tales and novels. Set in New York this is the story of religiously devoted young men and women falling in love and then coming to grips with realities. An excerpt reads, "THE thing that I know least about is my beginning. For it is possible to introduce Ethel Rawdon in so many picturesque ways that the choice is embarrassing, and forces me to the conclusion that the actual circumstances, though commonplace, may be the most suitable. Certainly the events that shape our lives are seldom ushered in with pomp or ceremony; they steal upon us unannounced, and begin their work without giving any premonition of their importance."
Autorenporträt
Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr was a British novelist and teacher, born on March 29, 1831, in Ulverston, United Kingdom. She is known for her novels, many of which are set in Scotland and England, drawing heavily from her childhood experiences and the landscapes that shaped her early life. Barr's writing career began after her move to the United States, where she eventually settled. Throughout her life, she balanced her passion for writing with her role as a teacher, influencing both her literary works and her interactions with students. Barr's novels are often characterized by their vivid descriptions of rural life, complex characters, and strong emotional undercurrents. Her works are a reflection of her keen observations of the world around her, particularly concerning relationships, moral dilemmas, and the changing social and political landscapes of the time. She passed away on March 10, 1919, in Richmond Hill, New York, at the age of 87. Her daughter, Mary Barr Munroe, survived her. Barr's works, though not as widely known today, played an important role in the literary scene of her time, and her stories remain a valuable window into 19th-century life.
