Zusammenfassung:"The Making of the Modern Child investigates the timely construction of childhood and children's literature in late-eighteenth-century England. Examining the early history of children's literature in a political and ideological context, Andrew O'Malley traces the origins of our modern notion of childhood back to the dawn of the industrial age. He explores how social and cultural transformations - notably the consolidation of the English middle class - as well as scientific and medical advances led to the emergence of "the child" as a distinct subject category, with its own specialized book market. Close readings of pedagogical, paediatric, and literary texts of the period provide compelling evidence of the intricate connection between the development of childhood and the revolutionary changes in late-eighteenth-century English society."--BOOK JACKET.
