Drawing from Potter's letters and journals, it analyses her attempts to escape from what she called her "unloved birthplace" and her overbearing parents to find a happy mature life. Potter felt that her life culminated in her forties, when she was, in effect, reborn through marriage as Mrs. William Heelis, a farmer raising Herdwick sheep and buying land for the National Trust. The language of transformation and rebirth used throughout her personal writing is echoed in Potter's fiction. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, through some of the last, such as The Fairy Caravan and The Tale of Little Pig Robinson, central characters undergo processes of initiation during which they mature toward adulthood. The most successful ones move from being helpless children to being more mature creatures on their way to independence, while others experience no change or even a regressive change."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Potter, Beatrix, $d 1866-1943 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Potter, Beatrix, $d 1866-1943 $x Correspondence. 600 10 $a Potter, Beatrix, $d 1866-1943 $x Diaries. 600 17 $a Potter, Beatrix, $d 1866-1943. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00050238 650 0 $a Children's stories, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Regeneration in literature. 650 0 $a Authors, English $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 7 $a Authors, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821945 650 7 $a Children's stories, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00856704 650 7 $a Diaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00892657 650 7 $a Letters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996779 650 7 $a Regeneration in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896091 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505014556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C84A1028E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
