All three novels commence as conventional Bildungsromane, yet the plots of all diverge from the usual narrative structure, as a result of both their colonial origins and the clash between their aspirational heroines and the plots available to them. In an analysis including gender, empire, nation and race, Empire Girls provides new critical perspectives on the ways in which this dominant narrative form performs very differently when taken out of its metropolitan setting. 606 $aCommonwealth fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aBildungsromans 615 0$aCommonwealth fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aBildungsromans. 676 $a823.0099171241 700 $aTreagus$b Mandy$0802510 712 02$aUniversity of Adelaide Press, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140396103321 996 $aEmpire girls$92214561 997 $aUNINA
