Shedding light on an important and neglected topic in childhood
studies, Anja MA1/4ller interrogates how different concepts of
childhood proliferated and were construed in several important
eighteenth-century periodicals and satirical prints. MA1/4ller
focuses on The Tatler, The Spectator, The Guardian, The Female
Tatler, and The Female Spectator, arguing that these periodicals
contributed significantly to the construction, development, and
popularization of childhood concepts that provided the basis for
later ideas such as the 'Romantic child'. Informed by the
theoretical concept of 'framing', by which certain concepts of
childhood are accepted as legitimate while others are excluded,
Framing Childhood analyses the textual and graphic constructions of
the child's body, educational debates, how the shift from
genealogical to affective bonding affected conceptions of
parent-child relations, and how prints employed child figures as
focalizers in their representations of public scenes. In examining
links between text and image, MA1/4ller uncovers the role these
media played in the genealogy of childhood before the 1790s,
offering a re-visioning of the myth that situates the origin of
childhood in late eighteenth-century England.
