Abstract

Susanne Barth’s work investigates discourses around girlhood, adolescence, and reading during the 18th and 19th century, focusing on the role of girls’ reading at a time of socio-cultural changes and changes in the history of gender roles. Using text hermeneutics, Barth combines socio-historical and reception-oriented research on reading with literary history, and historical gender studies. Her work places the “young female reader” at the centre, thus bringing her out of the niche of research on girls’ literature.
