Written by middle-class women who mapped the world that they had neither funds nor freedom to traverse, the primers employed rhetorical tropes such as the Family of Man or discussions of food and customs in order to plot other cultures along an imperial hierarchy. Cross-disciplinary in nature, X Marks the Spot is an analysis of previously unknown material that examines the interplay between gender, imperial duty, and pedagogy.English literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismChildrenBooks and readingGreat BritainHistory19th centuryWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryChildren's literature, EnglishHistory and criticismDidactic literature, EnglishHistory and criticismGeography in literatureNational characteristics, British, in literatureImperialism in literatureSex role in literatureEnglish literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.ChildrenBooks and readingHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryChildren's literature, EnglishHistory and criticism.Didactic literature, EnglishHistory and criticism.Geography in literature.National characteristics, British, in literature.Imperialism in literature.Sex role in literature.820.9/9287/09034Norcia Megan A.1976-1580788MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788364203321X marks the spot3861969UNINA
