=[ Literature about Marry Poppins ] =  **Title:** Myth, Symbol, and Meaning in Mary Poppins: The Governess as Provocateur  **Author:** Giorgia GrilliTranslated b y: Jennifer Varney MARC Record = = = = This in depth study seeks to separate the strict but sweet Mary Poppins from the Disney film, from the subversive and avant-garde nanny from P.L. Travers’ novels. The book contrasts her published works, discusses their success and describes Travers’ job as a governess as well. It also defines the role of a governess in Victorian and Edwardian England- someone who encompasses and instructs the rigid rules of society, and how Mary Poppins undermines these values.
