The nineteenth century was a time when the world was becoming
increasingly connected through global forces and networks. Colonial
and capitalist expansion was bringing the world into closer
contact, while nationalism and forms of indigenous resistance were
shaping and moulding the world on more local and regional scales.
This dynamic environment was the backdrop for a time when childhood
was becoming significantly elaborated as a cultural category of
identity. Institutions, objects, and places specifically designed
for children were multiplying at an unprecedented rate; writing
about children in fiction and non-fiction became increasingly
prolific; and the concern for children's health and well-being in
life and death was paramount in many communities. Scholarship on
the nineteenth century spans many disciplines and areas of interest
and utilizes diverse and abundant source material to study a period
recognized as foundational for our modern, globalized world. This
volume brings together scholars from archaeology, art history,
bioarchaeology, educational history, history, literary studies, and
theatre history to present studies of nineteenth century children
and childhood in Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, England, Ireland,
Native North America, Romania, Russia, and the United States. The
interdisciplinary focus of this volume illustrates the wealth of
sources, methods, and perspectives that can be used to develop our
understandings of childhood in the nineteenth century, and the
international scope of the studies offers a platform to engage
commonalities in an increasingly globalized world alongside an
appreciation for local, regional, and national variations in the
cultural creation and experiences of childhood.
