Hairy 16 wolves and bears, slimy snakes and frogs, or even ogres partake of the hero- 17 ines’ confrontations with the—male—Other. Following Bruno Bettelheim, psy- 18 choanalytical analyses generally posit that beasts function as veiled symbols 19 representing sexuality that children must initially experience as disgusting be- 20 fore they reach maturity and discover its beauty. In contrast to such views, 21 Jack Zipes argues that children’s instinctual drives are “conditioned and largely 22 determined through interaction and interplay with the social environment” 23 (Fairy Tales 32–33). As a consequence, fairy tales are inevitably shaped by the 24 historical period in which they are published and must be viewed through a 25 sociopolitical lens. Indeed, many historians and literary critics envisage fairy 26 tales as documents marked by social and economic conditions.

  • Nineteenth-Century Girls and Authorship: Adolescent Writing, Appropriation, and Their Representation in Literature, C
    Nineteenth-Century Girls and Authorship: Adolescent Writing, Appropriation, and their Representation in Literature, c. 1860–1900. Lois Margaret Burke A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 Abstract During the final decades of the nineteenth century girls’ culture flourished. As recent scholarship has shown, this culture pivoted on an engagement with fiction and particularly the periodical press. Magazines such as the Girl’s Own Paper and the Monthly Packet provided spaces where girls could benefit from being part of a larger network of contributors. The reciprocal reading and writing culture accessed through periodicals epitomised the experience of a creative and intellectual adolescence for many girls during the late-Victorian era. This thesis explores a discrete girls’ culture that was also cultivated in diaries and circulated manuscript magazines during this period. As these writings were shared with family or peers respectively, they can be viewed as tools of socialisation or ‘apprenticeships’ in writing, as well as in girlhood. Yet girls’ writings were also sites of resistance; in responding to the model literary and print culture in which they were immersed, girls cultivated an autonomous writing culture which hinged on strategies of adaptation and appropriation. Sociological theories of youth culture have demonstrated that young people actively contribute to cultural reproduction and change. When combined with theories of literary appropriation in this thesis, these insights shed light on the specific types of authorship which reflect girls’ simultaneous participation in and exclusion from a dynamic literary and print culture. This thesis analyses the development of girls’ literary culture in the late-Victorian manuscript writings.

Jimmie Killingsworth December 2010 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT Girlhood Geographies: Mapping Gendered Spaces in Victorian Literature for Children. (December 2010) Sonya Sawyer Fritz, B.A., Harding University; M.A., Texas A&M University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Lynne Vallone Dr. Claudia Nelson “Girlhood Geographies: Mapping Gendered Spaces in Victorian Literature for Children,” analyzes Victorian literature for girls and contemporary discourses on girlhood through the lens of cultural geography in order to examine the importance of place in the Victorian girl‟s identity work and negotiation of social responsibilities, pressures, and anxieties. The premise of my project is that one of the pressing cultural concerns in Victorian England, which greatly valued the stability of gender and class identities, was to teach children to know their place—not simply their proper position in society but how their position in society dictated the physical spaces in which they belonged and those in which they did not.

  • Through the Looking Glass Background
    Through the Looking Glass Background Early Children’s Literature – Until the mid-18th century, children's books mainly consisted of moralistic or enlightening stories propagating the religious and ethical view that hard work and diligence determines a person's life. Little consideration was given to children's reading pleasure. Amid this trend, John Newbery (1713-1767), a London-based bookseller, took up full-fledged publication of books that were both "entertaining and useful" for children. A Little Pretty Pocket-book, published by Newbery in 1744, is said to be the first book that provided children with not only moral lessons but also entertainment. Newbery went on to publish numerous books for middle-class children in urban areas, whose number continued to increase. Newbery became well known in the United States as well; the most prestigious American award for children's literature is named after him—the John Newbery Medal, inaugurated in 1922. The focus in children's books gradually shifted from simple moral lessons to entertainment, with techniques of expression employed specifically for that purpose. Books carrying witty illustrations or exploring children's inner life also began to appear. The mid-19th century saw the development of girls' novels and narratives of family life as exemplified by works by Juliana Horatia Ewing (1841-1885), Mary Louisa Molesworth (1839-1921), and Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924), noted for her Little Lord Fauntleroy, originally a serial novel that appeared in the American children's magazine St. Nicholas, inaugurated in 1873. In addition, a succession of books was published that were deeply rooted in children's daily activities, for example, books depicting school life, such as Tom Brown's School-days (1857) by Thomas Hughes (1822-1896), against the background of the spread of public schools.

    WOMEN WRITING MEN: FEMALE VICTORIAN AUTHORS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIONS OF MASCULINITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY DANIEL LEWIS DISSERTATION ADVISOR: DR. JOYCE HUFF BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2011 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am greatly thankful for the invaluable help of Dr. Joyce Huff who has guided me through this process from initial idea to finished dissertation with wisdom, patience, and positivity. I am equally grateful for the equally invaluable help from my committee. Drs. Patrick Collier, Melissa Adams-Campbell, and Carolyn Malone provided suggestions, comments, and questions that made this dissertation possible. Sarah Chavez provided both intellectual and emotional support, without which I would not have been able to keep my sanity (if I have any left). I also wish to thank Stephanie Ciccarelli who provided me with short morning breaks from writing that I always needed. Finally, I want to thank Dr. Ruth Jenkins, without whom I would never have known the joys of reading and writing about Victorian literature. Women Writing Men: Female Victorian Authors and their Representations of Masculinity Introduction The arguments in this dissertation rest upon the concept that gender is a social construct, as well as how the representations of gender in media (specifically, for the purposes of this dissertation, literature) play a role in how these constructed gender identities are ―lived‖ in the daily lives of individuals. This dissertation will focus on texts written by female Victorian authors in an effort to examine how and why these authors contributed to the ever-changing definition of appropriate male gender identities at a time when the expanding middle-class, changes in industry and science, and the education of children of all social classes increased the debate over gender roles for men and women.
