3 ONCE upon a time there were four little rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. They lived with their mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree. “Now, my dears,” said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, “You may go into the fields or down the lane, but don‟t go into Mr. McGregor‟s garden. Your father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.” “Now run along and don‟t get into mischief. I am going out.” Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella and went through the wood to the baker‟s. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns. Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail who were good little bunnies went down the lane together To gather blackberries. But Peter who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor‟s garden and squeezed under the gate! First he ate some lettuces and some French beans and then he ate some radishes; And then, feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsley. But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr.

Each one’s concept of peace was similar to the others. Grahame voiced it as “my own little home” through his character Mole in The Wind in the Willows.1 Potter expressed it through the words “at home in his peaceful nest in a sunny bank” in her book The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse.2 Finally, Milne described it in The House at Pooh Corner as “that enchanted

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.

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.
