Published in 1749, the story of Mrs. Teachum and the nine pupils
who make up her "little female academy" is widely recognized as the
first full-length novel for children, and the first to be aimed
specifically at girls. The daily experiences of Mrs. Teachum's
charges are interwoven with fables and fairy tales illustrating the
book's underlying principles, which draw on contemporary theories
of education and virtue. As central to the history of the novel as
it is to the development of children's literature, The Governess is
a pioneering work by one of the eighteenth century's most respected
women writers. This Broadview edition includes a critical
introduction that places The Governess in its cultural and literary
context; appendices include examples of eighteenth-century
educational literature and selections from Fielding's
correspondence.
