  • Beatrix Potter
    Beatrix Potter Potter was born into a wealthy London family who lived in Bolton Gardens, Kesington. They were very controlling and restrictive. Horrified of their humble class origins in trade, the Potters did not let Beatrix socialize. She was educated at home, studying books, music and watercolour painting. She was a gifted watercolour painter and felt attracted to nature and animals. During her holidays in the Scottish country side and the Lake District she sketched flowers, mushrooms and rabbits, and later in her life when she became a farmer, cows, pigs and sheep. She kept two rabbits as her pets, Peter Piper and Benjamin Bounce. Her interests were more scientific than artistic at the beginning, she had a theory about fungi, but the science world was close to women at that time and had to content herself with illustrating works of natural history. During her youth (1866-1897), she tried to make a living for herself and gain independence from her family by illustrating books and making commercial cards. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, her first work, was rejected by many publishers, so she had it printed privately. A first edition appeared in 1901 and sold so well that she paid for another edition only two months later. One of the publishers who had rejected her offered then to do the book if she would do the illustrations in watercolour instead of black and white. Her career as a children’s author was launched. Peter Rabbit was followed by some sequels featuring Peter –Tale of Benjamin Bunny, Tale of Mr Tod, and Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies−, and was the first in a series of twenty-three Peter Rabbit books including The Tailor of Gloucester, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, The Tale of Johny Town- Mouse, Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes, or Cecily Parsley Nursery Rhymes.

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.
