  • Beatrix Potter's Contribution to Children's Literature Between
    Studi sulla Formazione: 23, 289-299, 2020-1 DOI: 10.13128/ssf-11232 | ISSN 2036-6981 (online) Beatrix Potter’s Contribution to Children’s Literature between Reality and Narrative Representation CHIARA LEPRI Associata di Storia della pedagogia – Università di Roma Tre Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The paper intends to deepen the artistic and authorial contribution of the British illustrator Beatrix Potter not only to works, poetics and stylistic elements, but also, in paral- lel, to the existential level since, over the years and in the socio-cultural context in which she lived, she embodied a model of an independent woman, able to emerge from the con- flict between social norms and aspirations and to become an emblem of a culture of resist- ance and otherness that finds its natural and happy expression and continuation in the wide and varied sphere of children’s literature. Therefore, in conclusion, the key elements are enu- cleated, which are open and can be deepened, aimed at underlining, in the author’s human and literary testimony, the character of originality and the innovative scope of the work. Keywords. Beatrix Potter - Children’s literature - Illustration - Female emancipation 1. The Woman and the Cultural Context Alison Lurie, one of the best-known scholars of children’s literature on the interna- tional scene, writes that in the early Twentieth century “a woman escaped from prison with the help of a rabbit. It was not a modern prison, with facilities for education and rec- reation and a chance for parole, but a tall, dark, stuffy Victorian house; and the prisoner, who had been confined there for most of her thirty-six years, was under sentence for life”1.

  • A Strongly Marked Personality’: the Discursive and Non-Discursive Posture of Beatrix Potter
    ‘A Strongly Marked Personality’: The Discursive and Non-Discursive Posture of Beatrix Potter Sofie Vriends 4116178 Radboud Universiteit MA Engelstalige Letterkunde Dr. Dennis Kersten 15 June 2015 Vriends 2 MASTER ENGELSTALIGE LETTERKUNDE Teacher who will receive this document: Dr. Dennis Kersten Title of document: ‘A Strongly Marked Personality’: The Discursive and Non- Discursive Posture of Beatrix Potter Name of course: Masterscriptie Engelstalige Letterkunde Date of submission: 15 June 2015 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Sofie Vriends Student number: 4116178 Vriends 3 Abstract Beatrix Potter is voornamelijk bekend om haar verhalen over het ondeugende konijn Peter Rabbit en zijn vrienden. Daarnaast heeft Potter veel geschreven over fungi. Er is echter nog niet veel onderzoek gedaan naar hoe zij zichzelf neerzette als een schrijfster. Er zijn genoeg biografieën over haar te vinden en collecties van door haar geschreven brieven gepubliceerd. In deze scriptie is onderzocht hoe Beatrix Potter zichzelf als auteur presenteert. De focus ligt hier op drie verschillende onderdelen: haar gedrag als auteur in het literaire veld, de persoon die naar voren komt in haar brieven en de schrijfster die spreekt in haar kinderverhalen. De theorie die in deze scriptie zowel als ordeningsmodel als analysemodel is gebruikt, is de theorie van Jérôme Meizoz. Hij noemt de houding en presentatie van de auteur het postuur en legt uit dat het postuur bepaald wordt door zowel de auteur als het publiek. Deze scriptie belicht echter één kant van dit verhaal: hoe Beatrix Potter haar postuur heeft geconstrueerd.

Little maid, little maid, tirl the pin! Open the door and let us come in. The stories Beatrix Potter really wanted to tell.By OwlFor many years, Beatix Potter wrote no small book stories for small people. "Peter Rabbit" and "Squirrel Nutkin" were tales from Beatrix's spring summer. After writing such as these, she raised sheep and the dickens in the cause of land preservation. Then, in the early winter of her life, friends in the United States were pleased to publish anything Beatrix Potter would be pleased to write, endlessly appreciative and less fussy than her British publishers.What Beatrix choose to write were some oddments, bits, and pieces that had been in her mind for years, stories she really wanted to write. Many incorporate the old rhymes that eased hard work. Many were tales told her by the country-folks in the high fells where she was Mrs. Heelis and a famed sheep-breeder. Some grew out of her fury at government meddling in the old ways, lacking in appreciation of the unique beauty of the wild open lands.She strung the tales together, a necklace of carnelian, amber, and greenstone, on a connecting story of an invisible caravan of animals, who go from farm village to village farm entertaining other animals.
