Life

"Emmy von Rhoden" was the pseudonym of Emmy Friedrich-Friedrich, a daughter of the banker August Friedrich Kühne and his wife Henriette Friederike, nee. Rudeloff.

When her husband was appointed editor-in-chief of the Berlin court newspaper in 1867 , she followed him with the children to the capital. In 1872 she settled in Eisenach , from 1876 to 1885 she lived and worked in Leipzig . Emmy von Rhoden spent the last days of her life in Dresden, where she died in 1885 at the age of 55.

Works

The Defiant Head (Hungarian Edition)

Rhoden's literary oeuvre largely consists of stories that were published in the family book of the Austrian Lloyd and in the Berlin magazine Victoria . In addition, after long research, u. a. at her daughter's school, the novel The Defiant Head . A retirement story for adult girls . The Stuttgart publisher Gustav Weise published it a few weeks after her death. The book was a great success, was - similar to the Nesthäkchen volumes - for generations as a so-called Backfischroman to the standard reading of adolescent girls and is still known today.

Due to the success, Emmy von Rhoden's daughter Else Wildhagen wrote two sequels: From Trotshead's wedding time and From Trotson's marriage . The Dutch writer Suze la Chapelle-Roobol (1855–1923) ended the Defiant Head cycle with the volume Defiant Head as Grandmother .

The first two volumes of the tetralogy , The Defiant Head and From Defiant Head's Bridal Time , formed the template for the eight-part television series The Defiant Head of the Bavarian Radio in 1983 .
