The Mary Poppins that many people know of today--a stern, but
sweet, loveable, and reassuring British nanny--is a far cry from
the character created by Pamela Lyndon Travers in the 1930's.
Instead, this is the Mary Poppins reinvented by Disney in the
eponymous movie. This book sheds light on the original Mary
Poppins, Myth, Symbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins is the only
full-length study that covers all the Mary Poppins books, exposing
just how subversive the pre-Disney Mary Poppins character truly
was. Drawing important parallels between the character and the life
of her creator, who worked as a governess herself, Grilli reveals
the ways in which Mary Poppins came to unsettle the rigid and
rigorous rules of Victorian and Edwardian society that most
governesses embodied, taught, and passed on to their charges.
