This book is a study of children, their books and their reading
experiences in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Britain. It
argues for the importance of reading to early modern childhood and
of childhood to early modern reading cultures by drawing together
the fields of childhood studies, early modern literature and the
history of reading. Analysing literary representations of children
as readers in a range of genres (including ABCs, prayer books,
religious narratives, romance, anthologies, school books, drama,
translations and autobiography) alongside evidence of the reading
experiences of those defined as children in the period, it explores
the production of different categories of child readers. Focusing
on the 'good child' reader, the youth as consumer, ways of reading
as a boy and as a girl, and the retrospective recollection of
childhood reading, it sheds new light on the ways in which
childhood and reading were understood and experienced in the
period.
