I found more pieces of research about the lesbian fairy tale

Why, yes, I am still obsessed with that fairy tale from the 18th century. (Talked about here: On Love, Arithmetic, and the most lesbian fairy tale you've never heard of) So much so that I have found one (1) piece of academic writing about it and found the author on Linkdin!

I found this master's thesis a bit early into my research about this fairy tale. This takes an approach of proving that the queer themes are embedded directly into the fairy tale, and ties it to other Victorian research. https://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/parent/ff365b550/file_sets/3f462b892

I reached out the author on Linkdin, baffled why this wasn't getting more attention. She sent me this article about why E Nesbit isn't as popular as she should be, despite being such an influence on literature. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1964/12/03/the-writing-of-e-nesbit/

I'm not really sure what to do with this information other than loudly tell everyone in my proximity about it. Hence posting this on my website.

Another piece of writing apparently also had queer themes. I plan to read this other piece of Edith Nesbit's writing to see if I can draw a connection to it. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09699082.2024.2325808

I found an illustrated version that is 1. out of print, and 2. not scanned in by the internet. I've reached out to a librarian to ask if I can somehow get access to this illustrated edition, and maybe scan it in to document more of this.

Finally, I've been making some illustrations of the fairy tale. I'll post those when I finish some.

More updates to come.
