By adding new layers to a girl’s inner voice, Wakamatsu presented how the translation of Burnett’s story played a vital role in paving the way for the development of Japanese girls’ fiction in the Meiji period (1868–1912). Wakamatsu’s translation thus created a new literary arena in which young female readers could nurture their imagination and experience a sense of agency by reading stories about a character whom they could relate to.","PeriodicalId":42208,"journal":{"name":"Bookbird-A Journal of International Childrens Literature","volume":"60 1","pages":"67 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42018196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
