Produktbeschreibung
Set in the backblocks of New South Wales, My Brilliant Career follows Sybylla Melvyn, a headstrong teenager who narrates her refusal of the marriage market amid drought, debt, and the drudgery of bush life. In brisk, first-person prose blending satire with lyrical landscape, the novel adapts the European Bildungsroman to the Bulletin school's realism. Franklin probes class precarity, artistic ambition, and gendered labor, and pointedly overturns the consolations of colonial romance at Federation's cusp. Stella Maria Sarah "Miles" Franklin began the book in her teens and published it in 1901 with Henry Lawson's prefatory endorsement. Raised on struggling properties in rural New South Wales, she drew on pastoral routines and on debates about women's education and work. The sensation-and scandal-of readers treating the novel as memoir hardened her commitment to women's artistic autonomy, later evident in labor and suffrage activism and in the sardonic sequel, My Career Goes Bung. Readers of feminist coming-of-age fiction, Australian social history, and environmental humanities will find this a bracing, eloquent study of ambition and constraint. For classrooms and book clubs alike, it is an invigorating cornerstone of the national tradition-and still startlingly modern. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
