About this Item

Brazil, Angela. Schoolgirl Kitty / illustrated by W. E. Wightman. London: Blackie and Son, s.d. [1923]. Hardback, VG. Cream boards, a little bumped to top/base of spine, illustrated in blue and brown. Binding strong. Light tanning to endpapers. Frontispiece b/w illustration. 320pp., b/w illustrations. Light foxing to front edge of page block and some dust-staining to top edge. Contents clean and bright. Angela Brazil (30 November 1868 13 March 1947) was one of the first British writers of "modern schoolgirls' stories", written from the characters' point of view and intended primarily as entertainment rather than moral instruction. In the first half of the 20th century she published nearly 50 books of girls' fiction, the vast majority being boarding school stories. She also published numerous short stories in magazines. Her books were commercially successful, widely read by pre-adolescent girls, and influenced them. Though interest in girls' school stories waned after World War II, her books remained popular until the 1960s. They were seen as disruptive and a negative influence on moral standards by some figures in authority during the height of their popularity, and in some cases were banned, or indeed burned, by headmistresses in British girls' schools.
