ENGL-3002 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: River Medlock, Cultural Appropriation, Byronic Hero
Document Summary
Born in manchester, england, not as north up as yorkshire. Family moved to united states in 1865. Treasure island fits into the novel category of adventurous. Not exclusively domestic, not about family structure. Published in the same year as peter pan. Published as a serial, then as a novel. Peter pan is a lot of different things: read the novel version of peter and wendy. A huge chunk of asia or south asia to be considered as india. And how is it different from yorkshire: not as good. How did that change or not change over the course of the novel: specific ways that the servants raised her, not really about social class, evoke sympathy. One of the flaws for many children"s book in 19th century. She"s the projection of every child"s worst side. Loving to read books is such a big virtue in children"s literature. Mary doesn"t take colin"s bullshit because she"s just as spoiled as he is.
