This scope enables examination of the child in canonical nineteenth-century novels by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charlotte Bronte, and Thomas Hardy alongside well-known fiction intended for young readers by George MacDonald, Christabel Coleridge, and Kate Greenaway. The century was also distinctive for the rise of the children’s magazine, and this book broadens the definition of literary cultures to include magazines produced both by, and for, young people. The volume examines how the child and family are conceptualised, how children are positioned as readers in genres including the domestic novel, school story, Robinsonade, and fantasy fiction, how literary childhoods are written and politicised, and how childhood intersects with perceptions of animals and the natural environment. The range of chapters in this collection and the texts they consider demonstrates the variability and fluidity of literary cultures and nineteenth-century childhoods.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52153208865041,"sku":"NGR9783031383533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031383533.jpg?v=1757619344"},{"product_id":"literary-cultures-and-nineteenth-century-childhoods-book-kristine-moruzi-9783031383502","title":"Literary Cultures and Nineteenth-Century Childhoods","description":"Literary Cultures and Nineteenth-Century Childhoods explores the construction of the child and the development of texts for children in the nineteenth century through the application of fresh theoretical approaches and attention to aspects of literary childhoods that have only recently begun to be illuminated.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52343040540945,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52343041130769,"sku":"NLS9783031383502","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031383502.jpg?v=1758173272"},{"product_id":"literary-cultures-and-twentieth-century-childhoods-book-rachel-conrad-9783030353940","title":"Literary Cultures and Twentieth-Century Childhoods","description":"This collection of essays offers innovative methodological and disciplinary approaches to the intersection of Anglophone literary cultures with children and childhoods across the twentieth century. In two acts of re-centering, the volume focuses both on the multiplicity of childhoods and literary cultures and on child agency. Looking at classic texts for young audiences and at less widely-read and unpublished material (across genres including poetry, fiction, historical fiction or biography, picturebooks, and children’s television), essays foreground the representation of child voices and subjectivities within texts, explore challenges to received notions of childhood, and emphasize the role of child-oriented texts in larger cultural and political projects. Chapters frame themes of spectacle, self, and specularity across the twentieth-century; question tropes of childhood; explore identity and displacement in narrating history and culture; and elevate children as makers of literaryculture. A major intent of the volume is to approach literary culture not just as produced by adults for consumption by children but also as co-created by young people through their actions as speakers, artists, readers, and writers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52535872651537,"sku":"NLS9783030353940","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030353940.jpg?v=1760672331"},{"product_id":"literary-cultures-and-twenty-first-century-childhoods-book-nathalie-op-de-beeck-9783030321482","title":"Literary Cultures and Twenty-First-Century Childhoods","description":"In the early decades of the twenty-first century, we are grappling with the legacies  of past centuries and their cascading effects upon children and all people.
