Human & Rousseau | Our Authors | Jeanette Ferreira
Jeanette Ferreira was born on 20 April 1954 near Tzaneen. She completed her schooling at the Merensky Agricultural High School and later obtained BA Honours and MA degrees at the University of Pretoria and a PhD at Rhodes University (under the guidance of André P. Brink).
She lectured Afrikaans literature at the University of the North, the University of Zululand and Vista University. In 1988 and 1989 she was chairperson of the Afrikaans Writers' Guild.
After her academic career she worked in publishing for 10 years as editor and publisher. She is currently a freelance editor. She has written and compiled several books in a variety of genres, and is particularly known for her popular Anglo-Boer War novels: Babette, Catharina and Charlotta. She lives in Pretoria.
Her novella Sitate om ’n rewolusie was translated into English (Footnotes on a Revolution) by André Brink, but was never published.
In 1989 she was a member of the South African delegation of cultural representatives that met with the ANC abroad under the auspices of Idasa.
Jeanette chooses a piece of music that she listens to continually when she writes a book. For Charlotta it was Oh, virgin of the angel host, sung by the Caerphilly Male Voice Choir.
In 1999 Babette was adapted into a musical in English that was staged by the RAU Cultural Office. The music critic Paul Boekkooi described it as “an impressive musical love story, a production that should not be missed by enthusiasts of musicals”.
