As the notion of government by consent took hold in early modern
England, many authors used childhood and maturity to address
contentious questions of political representation - about who has a
voice and who can speak on his or her own behalf. For John Milton,
Ben Jonson, William Prynne, Thomas Hobbes and others, the period
between infancy and adulthood became a site of intense scrutiny,
especially as they examined the role of a literary education in
turning children into political actors. Drawing on new archival
evidence, Blaine Greteman argues that coming of age in the
seventeenth century was a uniquely political act. His study makes a
compelling case for understanding childhood as a decisive factor in
debates over consent, autonomy and political voice, and will offer
graduate students and scholars a new perspective on the emergence
of apolitical children's literature in the eighteenth century.
