- Title
The Novels of Frances Hodgson Burnett: In "the World of Actual Literature".
- Authors
Dolan, Frances E.
- Abstract
Recchio sees the novel as "a thought experiment" and "not a philosophical novel as such but a historical novel distanced enough in time to allow for socially sensitive material to be handled without reserve" (94). Whether Burnett's adult fiction is actually more literary than her novels for children, the novels repay sustained attention. As I The Novels of Frances Hodgson Burnett: In "the World of Actual Literature" i demonstrates, Frances Hodgson Burnett commands our attention not only as an enduringly popular children's author but also as a writer who defies categorizations that still structure curricula and bestseller lists.
