英米文学研究、児童文化、女性史など様々な領域で関心の高まる、女子校を舞台とした小説の初の学術コレクションです。18世紀末に少女向けの道徳、宗教教育の一つの手段として英国で始まったこのジャンルの出版は、19世紀に入ると宗教色を薄め、学校生活のルール、理想的な女性像や女性の間の友情の教えなど、その目的や題材も変化します。女性教育の中流層への拡大や女性の社会意識の向上したこの時代、少女や若い女性向けの小説として英国内で人気が高まると同時にその影響は海外へも広がり、アメリカを始めカナダ、オーストラリアなど大英帝国植民地でも多くのこの分野の小説が発表され、1920年代頃にそのピークを迎えたとされています。
本コレクションはこの女子学園小説の系譜を年代順に追うと同時に、各巻それぞれの時代に特徴的なテーマの代表作品と同テーマの小説の抜粋や女性誌に掲載された短編小説をまとめ、発表時のテキストそのままに復刻します。英国だけでなく、アメリカやオーストラリア、カナダなど大英帝国植民地の作品も含め計40点弱を収録、この文学ジャンルの全体像を提示いたします。編者の詳しい解説を入りです。
