Instead, this is the Mary Poppins reinvented by Disney in the eponymous movie. This book sheds light on the original Mary Poppins, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMyth, \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSymbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins \u003c\/em\u003eis the only full-length study that covers all the Mary Poppins books, exposing just how subversive the pre-Disney Mary Poppins character truly was. Drawing important parallels between the character and the life of her creator, who worked as a governess herself, Grilli reveals the ways in which Mary Poppins came to unsettle the rigid and rigorous rules of Victorian and Edwardian society that most governesses embodied, taught, and passed on to their charges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giorgia Grilli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113885610X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138856103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Giorgia Grilli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44829472981247,"sku":"9781138856103","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70dfd824-88de-462a-bc68-ef99d9c54e88.jpg?v=1708450901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myth-symbol-and-meaning-in-giorgia-grilli-9781138856103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
