Produktbeschreibung

This collection of literary and historical criticism draws on recent scholarship on canon formation, gender studies, and cultural studies to show how concepts of public/private, male/female, and national/foreign operated in nineteenth-century children's literature, and explores how this literature transmitted hegemonic notions of American citizenship and cultural values.
