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. 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChildren$xBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChildren's literature, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDidactic literature, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGeography in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, British, in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aSex role in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChildren$xBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChildren's literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDidactic literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGeography in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, British, in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 676 $a820.9/9287/09034 700 $aNorcia$b Megan A.$f1976-$01580788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788364203321 996 $aX marks the spot$93861969 997 $aUNINA
