Download or read book The Governess written by Sarah Fielding and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2005-09-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of a Governess There was a wistful look in the little faces, and a yearning for love in the little hearts all unsatisfied, since the good mother had gone to rest; but none, even down to little Rosie, had forgotten the prayers she had taught them, nor to lift, night and morning, their innocent hands to the all-father. And now Tan had risen, snuffed about, gone from one child to another, pattering about on his soft paws, saying, good night to all. He sprang noiselessly upon the sofa, by Rosie's head, and taking in his mouth a beautiful white kitten lying there, carried it off to his basket in-the corner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Ward's Governess: A Novel IT was in the year 18 and the last season of the beautiful but ill-fated Astor Place Opera House. The house that had been so poorly supported was this one evening full to overflowing, for a very popular opera was being performed. The suthu siasm was great, and the applause eneral, as the favorite cantatrice finished one of er most difli cult roulades, and bowed smilingly in answer to her warm reception. She had been much ad mired the preceding Winter, and the second week of Rosa Bertini'e engagement was truly a brilliant ovation. It was a glowing, living, beautiful scene - the animated faces that greeted her, and the small gloved hands that did their share in the genuine enthusiasm of their applause. The song so gen erally applauded was repeated, and the Signorina Bertmi sent a happy, eager, and saucy glance to one of the stage boxes, as, bowing and smiling, she ran off the stage, her hands filled to over flowing with flowers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from She Would Be a Governess: A Domestic Tale "I cannot help growing tall," grumbled I, sotto voce. "And you should remember, dear Genevieve, - I do not say it despondently, but with thoughtfulness, - that you are the only child of your widowed mother. You are not wanting in sense or discretion; and yet, at times, you are as foolish as little Julia Waldron, as rough as Fitz. Now, for your friend Julia there is the excuse that she is two years your junior; and that, besides having the uncommon gift of genius, she has the folly of genius also. But as for you, common sense is your characteristic, when you please to allow it fair play. As you never reach the cleverness of Julia, is it not then shameful to fall below her in childishness f Indeed, I hardly know how to deal with your faults; I can only account for your frivolity at times by attributing it to the extreme facility of your temper, which makes you submissive for the moment to whomever you happen to be with." Miss Barrett was not looking very austere when she denounoed these my faults; possibly, however, her severity might have been softened by the soothing influence of the roses, myrtle, and carnations, through the perfume of which her words were wafted to me; so I ventured to make this defence for myself: - "Does not my facility of temper also make me thoughtful with you, industrious with fkuunma, and very persevering with Mr. Waldron; may not, then, a little childishness with Julia, and an occasional romp with poor Sits be forgiven?" "No, my dear!" replied Miss Barrett; "it cannot be pardoned in one who is preparing for the most arduous career in life a young woman can pursue, that of a teacher; a governess should not only be a very good, but also a very discreet person."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from At the World's Mercy Whenever I hear of a wife or widow and young family left suddenly unprovided for, I reckon up the children on this wise - so many ne'er-do-wells and so many governesses. I have met with exceptions, but the rule is sound. When my father, a wealthy manufacturer, failed in business, he railed at the world for a little while, and then, calling us together, made us a manly and affecting speech, in which he compared himself to Hercules, and declared his resolution to fight the world for us all, and win us another luxurious home; then he set out for Australia in search of his labors, leaving my mother and sister and myself in lodgings in Pimlico, and recommending us to the care of my brother, a lad of twenty, who had just been expelled from college. My high-spirited mother rather resented my father's conduct, and was of opinion that it would hare been more heroic to remain and starve with us at Pimlico than to run away and let us starve alone. It was at this point that we promised to follow the rule I have stated. My sister Elsie, who was sixteen, and I, two years older, never for one moment thought of looking for support to James, who threw his arms dramatically round my mother's neck and declared for the fiftieth time that he would "turn over a new leaf"; but we instinctively took up the advertisement-sheet of the "Times."
