Society Member Maja Verdonik, a professor of Children's literature at the University of Rijeka, gave a presentation about Beatrix Potter's life and work. (More about this in the July J&N.) Maja Verdonik overseeing the Beatrix Potter display Photo: Verena Tibljas Marta McDowell had an unusual request for information from a group that checks facts in political statements. They were following up a post written by President Obama about New England Cottontails (at one time on the endangered list) and a claim that the rabbit had inspired the popular Peter Rabbit stories. The journalist, Lou Jacobson, was puzzled that this could not be possible, given that Beatrix Potter's Peter came from the Lake District in the UK, not the US. The Peter Rabbit in question was actually Peter Cottontail, of the stories written by Thornton W. Burgess, a New England author from Cape Cod. Read the PolitiFact statement here.

  • 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.

AUTHOR'S OBSERVATIONS This photo depicts Norman Warne as he appeared around 1900. He is seen here with his nephew Fred. In the summer of 1905, after his company had published Beatrix Potter’s first three books, Norman sent Beatrix a special letter containing a marriage proposal. The creator of Peter Rabbit was overjoyed when she read Norman's words. Rupert and Helen Potter were Unitarians. As such, they neither celebrated Christmas nor had a beautifully decorated tree in the house. Once Beatrix wistfully observed in a letter: How pretty Miss Paget’s tree used to be, with the little doll angel on top. It was something the lonely girl, then maturing woman, could never stare at in her own family’s home. Because Beatrix’s parents were so obsessed with class distinctions, they never allowed Norman Warne - their daughter’s editor - to set foot in their home. He earned his living, after all, "in the trades." (One wonders: Could they really have missed the irony that their own family fortunes came from the cotton and printing trades?) Beatrix had ideas for more "little books." As she and Norman worked on them, they sent letters to each other nearly every day.
