Take Up Thy Bed and Walk: Death, Disability and Cure in Classic Fiction for Girls
by Lois KeithMany Victorian children's books written for girls show a lively, rebellious heroine who, by the end of the story, is tamed and ready to take on the role of submissive young woman. In a number of works, a temporary disability is the crucible which teaches these headstrong girls lessons in patience and humility. Sometimes goodness and will-power are rewarded with a miraculous cure. In other works a dying child serves as a lesson to the living, modeling endurance and faith. Lois Keith explores such themes in children's classics including Little Women, Heidi, The Secret Garden, and Pollyanna. In her final chapter she considers depictions of illness and disability and children's literature of the mid to late 20th century.
