Description

Explore the historical landscape of colonial Melbourne in this scholarly study from the Ashgate Studies in Childhood series. In 1870, Melbourne was a city defined by a massive youth population, with 42 percent of inhabitants aged 14 and under. This demographic shift, a result of the 1850s gold rushes, created a unique social environment for the developing nation. Author Simon Sleight examines the debate regarding the future of 'Young Australia' and the role of children within the growing colony. Rather than focusing solely on traditional institutional settings, this work looks at the outdoor city to understand how young people interacted with public spaces. It provides a deep look into the relationship between social discourse and the physical environment of the time. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history of childhood, Australian social history, and urban development during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
