Informationen zum Autor Jaime Osterman Alves is Assistant Professor of Literature in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at Bard College. Klappentext Seeking to understand how literary texts both shaped and reflected the century's debates over adolescent female education, this book examines fictional works and historical documents featuring descriptions of girls' formal educational experiences between the 1810s and the 1890s. "Gives a range of valuable insights into the pedagogical practices used to teach women during the nineteenth century and about the psychosocial effects of these practices. This book also shows the importance of using fictionalised accounts as part of a broader analysis of the socio-historical context. The vignettes it describes and the questions it poses (particularly with respect to minority ethnic education) will be of use in teaching and research and are likely to inspire further inquiry using these methods." - Sarah Evans, Gender, Place & Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography Zusammenfassung Seeking to understand how literary texts both shaped and reflected the century's debates over adolescent female education, this book examines fictional works and historical documents featuring descriptions of girls' formal educational experiences between the 1810s and the 1890s.
