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

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.

Commonlit | the Tale of Peter Rabbit
Name: Class: The Tale of Peter Rabbit By Beatrix Potter 1902 Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English writer, illustrator, and natural scientist who was best known for her children's books featuring animals. The following fable was written for the five-year-old son of Potter's former governess. The Tale of Peter Rabbit is about a young rabbit and his adventures in Mr. McGregor’s garden. As you read, take notes on Peter’s character traits throughout the story. [1] 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.1 I am going out.” [5] Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, to the baker’s. She bought a loaf of 2 brown bread and five currant buns. "Untitled" by Beatrix Potter is in the public domain. Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane 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.

A Multimodal Analysis of the Tale of Peter Rabbit Within the Interpersonal Metafunction
ATLANTIS. Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies. 32.1 (June 2010): 123–140 ISSN 0210-6124 A Multimodal Analysis of The Tale of Peter Rabbit within the Interpersonal Metafunction A. Jesús Moya Guijarro University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain [email protected] This study attempts to carry out an analysis of the interpersonal meanings conveyed by the verbal and the visual modes of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, while exploring the choices afforded to Beatrix Potter in creating engagement between the viewer / reader and the (represented) participants of the tale. The analytical tools employed in this study are Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar and Kress and van Leeuwen’s Visual Social Semiotics, which prove to be powerful models for the study of multimodal texts. The analysis of the interpersonal / interactive meaning of the verbal and visual elements in The Tale of Peter Rabbit reveals that both the verbiage and the illustrations combine to reinforce the reader’s / viewer’s identification with the main character in the story. The high presence of declarative clauses throughout the text demonstrates that the verbal component accompanying the pictures does not seem to encourage much interaction. However, other devices related to contact, distance and perspective reveal that the illustrator makes choices which do create a certain degree of affinity with the viewer. Keywords: SFL; Visual Social Semiotics; Multimodality; Visual/Verbal Modes; Interpersonal; Interactive Un análisis multimodal de El cuento de Peter Rabbit desde una perspectiva interpersonal El objetivo de este artículo es realizar un análisis del significado interpersonal expresado por los modos verbal y visual utilizados en El Cuento de Peter Rabbit, escrito e ilustrado por Beatriz Potter.

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.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter Once there were four little rabbits. Their names were Mopsy, Flopsy, Cottontail, and Peter. They lived with their mother in a sand bank. It was under the root of a big fir tree. "Now, my dears," said Mrs. Rabbit one day, "you may go into the fields. 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." Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail were good bunnies. They went down the lane for berries. But Peter was very bad. He ran straight to Mr. McGregor's garden and went under the gate! First he ate some lettuces. Then he ate some beans. And then, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor! He was busy tending his cabbages. He jumped up and ran after Peter. "Stop, thief!" he called. Peter was scared. He ran all over the garden. He had forgotten the way back to the gate. He lost one shoe in the cabbages. He lost the other in the beans. Then he ran on four legs and went faster. He might have gotten away. That was when he ran into a berry net. Peter gave up. He shed big tears. “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” by Beatrix Potter, 1902. 1 Mr. McGregor came up to grab him. Peter got loose just in time. He had to leave his coat, though. He rushed into the toolshed and jumped into a can.
