我的光辉生涯,本书被誉为“第一部澳大利亚小说”,在澳大利亚经典文学名著中占有重要的一席之地。尤为不同凡响的是,这部描写少女心理成长过程的小说,其作者也是一个当时只有十七岁的少女。
My Brilliant Career is a 1901 novel written by Miles Franklin. It is the first of many novels by Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin (1879–1954), one of the major Australian writers of her time. It was written while she was still a teenager, as a romance to amuse her friends. Franklin submitted the manuscript to Henry Lawson who contributed a preface and took it to his own publishers in Edinburgh. The popularity of the novel in Australia and the perceived closeness of many of the characters to her own family and circumstances as small farmers in New South Wales near Goulburn caused Franklin a great deal of distress and led her to withdrawing the novel from publication until after her death.
