The Orphan Girl


The Orphan Girl. London: Dean & Co., 35, Threadneedle Street, 1812.

The Orphan Girl is a reworking of the preeminent narrative of Goody Two Shoes. Simplified to be presented in six images, it also shifts attention from the protagonist's self sufficiency and hard work to her piety. Read more about this book on our blog.
