Empire in British Girls' Literature and Culture cover

While the gender and age of the girl may seem to remove her from any significant contribution to empire, this book provides both a new perspective on familiar girls' literature, and the first detailed examination of lesser-known fiction relating the emergence of fictional girl adventurers, castaways and 'ripping' schoolgirls to the British Empire.

'...Smith's book is a well-written study that brings together a range of texts not previously discussed comprehensively in the context of the British Empire. A helpful index keeps the wealth of material accessible.' -Jochen Petzold, Regensburg, ZAA
