Abstract

I wish to draw on a so far little researched and studied group of sources, the prayerbooks and use the findings to present Catholic girls’ education and more specifically its principles at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. Although the prayerbooks do not directly reflect the actual state of affairs, it is my hypothesis that they effectively contribute to creating the expected stereotypes. This becomes especially important in the period concerned when the possibility was being created for girls to participate in education, and this also meant that they would be drawn into the circle of readers. The new reading market led to the appearance of new genres and the reinterpretation of old genres. In the course of the 19th century the prayerbooks published and brought out in new editions especially for women and for young girls in educational institutions for young ladies can be considered to belong to these new or reinterpreted genres. Their main role was in religious and moral education, in counteracting the popular literature that was rapidly spreading especially in the big city environment, and in constructing the ideal of the Catholic girl.
