Jean Webster citations

Jean Webster, née Alice Jane Chandler Webster le 24 juillet 1876 et morte le 11 juin 1916, est un auteur américain de romans pour jeunes filles, dont le plus célèbre est Papa-Longues-Jambes ou Papa Faucheux , écrit en 1912, et sa suite, Mon ennemi chéri .

Ses livres les plus connus mettent en scène des jeunes femmes pleines de vie au seuil de l'âge adulte sur le plan personnel comme sur le plan social et intellectuel ; mais ils sont écrits avec suffisamment d'humour, de causticité dans les dialogues et la peinture de la société d'alors pour être d'une lecture agréable pour les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui.
