Upon the "discovery of childhood," as named by Philippe Aries,
bourgeois culture and modern literature marked out an arcane realm
that, while scarcely accessible for adults, acted as a space for
projections of the most contradictory kind and diverse ideological
purposes: childhood. As this book reveals, from the eighteenth
century onwards, the child increasingly came into focus in
literature as a mysterious creature. Now the child seems a strange
being, constantly unsettling and alienating, although exposed to
ongoing territorialization. This is possible because the space of
'childhood' is essentially blank and indefinite. Modernity,
therefore, has discovered it as a zone, in the words of Friedrich
Schiller of "boundless determinability."
