"Transforming Girls: The Work of Nineteenth-Century Adolescence explores the paradox
of the nineteenth-century girls' book. On the one hand, early novels for adolescent
girls rely on gender binaries and suggest that girls must accommodate and support
a patriarchal framework to be happy. On the other, they provide access to imagined
worlds in which teens are at the center. The early girls' book frames female adolescence
as an opportunity for productive investment in the self. This is a space where mentors
who trust themselves, the education they provide, and the girl's essentially good
nature neutralize the girl's own anxieties about maturity. Drawing on best-selling
novels in the United States and Germany (where this genre is referred to as Backfischliteratur),
Transforming Girls reframes our understanding of the history of the girls' book and
provides insightful readings of forgotten bestsellers. It also outlines an alternate
model for imagining adolescence and supporting adolescent girls. The awkward adolescent
girl-so popular in mid-nineteenth-century fiction for girls-remains a valuable resource
for understanding contemporary girls and stories about them"
