Description

This scholarly examination explores how Victorian society constructed and understood childhood through the lens of Charles Dickens' work and the broader children's literature movement. The book investigates the rapid development of ideas about children and the 'ideal' Victorian child during an era of expanding literacy and mass-market publishing. It analyses how children's literature emerged as a significant publishing category whilst examining the cultural phenomenon of families reading works like those by Dickens together across all ages within middle-class households. The text contextualises how authors shaped and reflected evolving attitudes towards childhood, education and socialisation during the Victorian period, offering insights into the intersection of literature, culture and social history.
