Beatrix Potter Writing In Code

Beatrix Potter Was One Of The Inventors Of The Contemporary Picture Book, And Her Small Novels Published At The Turn Of The Twentieth Century Are Still Available And Popular Today. Writing In Code Is The First Book-length Study Of Potters Work, And It Covers The Entire Oeuvre, Examining All Facets Of Her Work In Relation To Her Private Life. Daphne Kutzer Reveals The Depth Of The Symbolism In Potters Work And Relates This To The Issues Of The Authors Own Development As An Independent Woman And Writer, And Her Struggles With Domesticity, Unitarianism, And The Socio-political Issues In Late-19th And Early-20th Century England.
