Description

Explore the evolution of childhood concepts in this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how the idea of the ideal Victorian child emerged alongside rising literacy rates and the growth of reading materials for the mass public. It looks at the development of children's literature as a new field for publishers and readers during the Victorian era. Readers will learn how families often shared literature not originally written for children, bringing works into the middle-class family circle. The text specifically looks at how authors like Charles Dickens were read and appreciated by people of all ages. This study provides a deep look into how social constructs and literature shaped the perception of the imperfect child in history.
