作者简介

Angela Brazil (1868-1947) remains one of the pioneer authors who effectively shaped and established the genre of the girls' school story. Her literary style was characterized by a blend of wholesome adventure, schoolgirl camaraderie, and moral development, all intertwined with an easy-to-read narrative that appealed directly to her young audience. Brazil's works often explored the interior lives of her characters and their interpersonal dynamics within the school setting. Born in Preston, Lancashire, Brazil took to writing early in her life but first achieved literary success relatively later. 'An Exciting Term' is one of the many novels where Brazil used the school as a microcosm for the challenges and excitements faced by adolescent girls. Throughout her illustrious career, she authored over 50 books for girls, and her prolific output helped to modernize the concept of education and independence for young women. Notably, her books, while formulaic, offered her readers characters with whom they could identify and situations that mirrored their experiences, blending entertainment with instruction. Brazil's influence extended beyond her lifetime, cementing her legacy as a cornerstone of British children's literature. Her books are still appreciated for their historical and cultural value, providing insight into early 20th-century attitudes towards girlhood and education.
