Publisher's Synopsis

In the 18th and 19th centuries girls were portrayed by the British and Americans as figures of adornment in need of rescue and reform. This book investigates such portrayals by analyzing literature, conduct manuals, religious tracts, institutions and social practices and phenomena of the period.
