'A History Not Then Taught in History Books': (Re)Writing Reconstruction in Historical Fiction for Children and Young Adults
2006
Overview
Set in Virginia during Reconstruction, Elsie's Motherhood, the fifth volume of Martha Finley's best-selling 19th-century American series has a remarkable plot for two reasons. First, Finley's stubbornly pro-South, pro-slavery bias is evident in the series' earlier novels. And second, Finley's depiction of the Ku Klux Klan is written for young readers before many books questioning Reconstruction had become popular for adult readers. Here, Harris explores Elsie's Motherhood and discusses as to how the novel is being adapted for modern readers.
