Description

Explore the historical and literary evolution of child protection in this scholarly work from Routledge. Monica Flegel provides an interpretive framework to understand how the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) defined child cruelty during the late nineteenth century. This book moves between historical and literary texts to trace the development of these concepts. Readers can examine a broad spectrum of writing from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth century. The analysis includes philosophical works from Locke and Rousseau, as well as poetry by Coleridge, Blake, and Caroline Norton. By studying the works of journalists and reformers such as Henry Mayhew and Mary Carpenter, this text offers a deep look into how child representation changed over time. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the history of childhood and social reform in Great Britain.
