Mastering childhood: Paternalism slavery, and the southern domestic in Caroline Howard Gilman's Antebellum children's literature

Article Abstract:

Caroline Howard Gilman created her children's magazine the Rose-Bud in 1832 to lend a southern voice to the growing body of domestic fiction and children's literature emerging out of the antebellum northeast. An examination of Gilman's children stories written in the early 1830s broadens the geographical field of antebellum literary studies, and it also shows how a white southern woman strived to reform her own society and represent a positive rendering of the South to northerners.
