Gaming Empire in Children's British Board Games, 1836-1860 by Megan A Norcia
Over a century before Monopoly invited child players to bankrupt one another with merry ruthlessness, a lively and profitable board game industry thrived in Britain from the 1750s onward, thanks to publishers like John Wallis, John Betts, and William Spooner.SUNY Brockport Associate Professor Megan A. Norcia (PhD, University of Florida) focuses her research on empire and nineteenth-century children’s literary and material culture, including imperial geography, mapping London, and castaway tales. Her publications include Children’s Literature Association’s selected Honor Book: X Marks the Spot: Women Writers Map the Empire for British Children, 1790-1895 (Ohio UP, 2010), and articles appearing in Victorian Literature and Culture, Children’s Literature Annual, Victorian Review, Children’s Literature Quarterly, The Lion and the Unicorn and elsewhere. She is happiest when up to her elbows in archives.
