About the author
Born in Arnsberg in 1862, Felicitas Rose was the pen name of Rosa Caroline Mathilde Emma Schliewen. She became known as a German writer, and records from IMDb and German biographical sources place her life between July 31, 1862 and June 18, 1938, ending in Müden (Örtze), Germany.
Rose is remembered for fiction including Der Mutterhof, Die jungen Eulenrieds, and Kerlchens Lern- und Wanderjahre. Project Gutenberg lists her among its authors, which suggests her work continued to circulate well beyond her own lifetime.
Today, she is mainly of interest to readers exploring older German popular fiction, especially stories centered on home, upbringing, and the rhythms of everyday life. Even from the surviving records, she comes across as a writer with a steady place in the reading culture of her era.
