DESCRIPTION:Beatrix Potter kept a journal in code from 1881\, when she tur
 ned sixteen\, till 1897. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was privately printed in
  1901\, and by Frederick Warne a year later. This talk considers the ways 
 in which Potter grew into being a phenomenally successful author\, artisti
 cally and financially. The creatures in her tales are often escaping\, def
 ying the boundaries set for them. Reading\, writing and drawing provided P
 otter with a passport to freedom from the Victorian world of her childhood
  and early adult life. \n\n*Juliet Dusinberre*\, author of Shakespeare and
  the Nature of Women (3rd ed. 2003) and Alice to the Lighthouse (2nd ed. 1
 999) and editor of Arden 3 As You Like It\, is working on a new book\, Why
  Read? Why Write? which will discuss a variety of authors\, including Beat
 rix Potter\, the Barrow diarist Nella Last\, Arthur Ransome\, and Wilfred 
 Owen. “Arthur Ransome: Beginning at the End\,” is about to appear in t
 he Cambridge Literary Review.\n
