Summary "The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII, No. 363, December 11, 1886" by Various is a collection of articles and stories primarily aimed at a young female audience, written in the late 19th century. The periodical includes educational pieces on art, literature, and moral lessons, reflecting the societal values and interests of its time. One of the featured articles discusses Greek and Roman art in the British Museum, particularly focusing on the Elgin Marbles and their historical and cultural significance. The opening portion begins with an informative piece by E. F. Bridell-Fox that delves into the artistry of the Parthenon and its sculptures, detailing the transformations the temple underwent over the centuries. The author vividly describes the central figures and myths associated with the artwork, such as the birth of Athéné, emphasizing the importance of understanding these works in their historical context. Meanwhile, the narrative transitions into a story titled "Merle's Crusade," where a governess, Merle, navigates the complexities of caring for children, setting up themes of familial responsibility and social dynamics. This blend of art elucidation and character-driven storytelling encapsulates the educational yet narrative nature of the periodical, appealing to its readership's quest for both knowledge and entertainment.
