Abstract
Comparing children’s books and novels presented for more mature audiences, this essay proposes the key term scalable legibility. Scalable legibility describes works for juvenile audiences designed to accommodate changes in cognitive development over time, for instance, in a primer that builds from alphabet to syllabary to short story. Both in her fiction for children and in her work for adults, Wollstonecraft writes on different but scaling levels, not only raising thematically the issue of human improvability, but also structuring it formally into her fictional texts through animal tropes.
