Written by a teenager living in the Australian bush in the 1890s
and originally published in 1901, Miles Franklin's My Brilliant
Career is a candid representation of the aspirations and
frustrations of a young woman constrained by middle-class social
arrangements, especially the pressure to marry. My Brilliant Career
has continued to delight readers and to cause them to locate their
personal realities in the struggle of Franklin's heroine, Sybylla
Melvyn, to recognize and to pursue what she most wants and needs in
her life. In addition to the rich selection of appendices, this
edition includes maps of early twentieth-century Australia and a
critical introduction that outlines political and economic
developments relevant to the novel, traces the literary landscape
upon which My Brilliant Career first appeared, and describes the
reception and interpretation given the novel in the century after
its initial publication (including the celebrated 1979 film
adaptation).
