What Katy Read focuses on a much neglected area of literary criticism: literature for girls. Written by women for children, such texts have been doubly marginalized by the critical establishment. Shirley Foster and Judy Simons use twentieth-century feminist critical practice to open up fresh perspectives on popular fiction for girls written between 1850 and 1920. The study analyses both American and British novels for girls which have acquired 'classic' status, from the domestic myth to the school story, and considers their scope and influence in providing role models for girl readers.
Through close readings of these eight North American and British novels, which have had a powerful impact on the development of literature for girls, Foster and Simons consider genres from the domestic myth to the school story, analyze the transgressive figure of the tomboy, and discuss ways in which superficially conventional texts implicitly undermine patterns of patriarchy.

This vintage text contains Sarah Chauncey Woolsey's heart-warming children's novel, 'What Katy Did Next'. It follows on from 'What Katy Did' (1872) and 'What Katy Did At School' (1873), continuing the adventures of Katy Carr as she travels through Europe. An endearing story to read to children at bedtime and a veritable must-have for those who have read and enjoyed the previous books in the series, 'What Katy Did Next' makes for a great addition to any bookshelf and is not to be missed by fans of Woolsey's work. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
