商品簡介
This collection continues Myers's lifelong project of bringing feminist, New Historicist, and cultural studies methods to early children's texts. Essays on contexts of this literature include a description of the physical presence and preparation of early children's books, a comparison of moral lessons with fairy tale fantasy, and the relationships women and children had to reading in the 18th century. Topics on the "rational dames," women writers and educators, include analyses of the works of Anna Barbaud, Hannah Moore, and Sara Trimmer. Those on the politics and pedagogy of the child include the fate of Scott's Ivanhoe, reactions to stories of heroism in St. Nicholas Magazine, and girls' educational reform in the fiction of L.T. Meade. The volume closes with personal and scholarly memoirs of Myers, as well as a bibliography of her work. Published in partnership with the Children's Literature Association.
