In this collection the multidimensional story of children's
literature in the formative period of the long nineteenth century
is illuminated, questioned, and, in some respects, rewritten.
Children's literature might be characterised as the love-child of
the Enlightenment and the Romantic movements, and much of its
history over the long nineteenth century shows it being defined,
shaped, and co-opted by a variety of agents, each of whom has their
own ambitions for it and for its child readership. Is children's
literature primarily a way of educating children in the principles
of reason and morality? A celebration of the Rousseauesque child? A
source of pleasure and entertainment? Women, both as writers and as
nurturers involved at an intimate and daily level with the raising
of children, recognised early and often very explicitly the
multiple capacities of literature to provide entertainment, useful
information, moral education and social training, and the
occasionally conflicting nature of these functions. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Women's Writing.
