Description

Explore the evolution of male writers through this academic study from Palgrave Studies in the History of Childhood. The Boy-Man examines the emergence of writers marked by childlike immaturity, a phenomenon born from the intersection of Rousseau's cultural primitivism, the Sensibility 'Man of Feeling', and the Romantic idealization of childhood. This book traces how these figures congregated around metropolitan institutions like The London Magazine during the Romantic era. It provides a detailed look at influential figures including John Keats, Leigh Hunt, Charles Lamb, Hartley Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey, and Thomas Hood. Readers will gain insight into the cultural shifts of the long nineteenth century and the specific terms of childishness that defined this period.
