This 2007 collection offered the first definitive study of a
surprisingly underdeveloped area of scholarly investigation, namely
the relationship between Shakespeare, children and childhood from
Shakespeare's time to the present. It offers a thorough mapping of
the domain in which Shakespearean childhoods need to be studied, in
order to show how studying Shakespearean childhoods makes
significant contributions both to Shakespearean scholarship, and to
the history of childhood and its representations. The book is
divided into two sections, each with a substantial introduction
outlining relevant critical debates and contextualizing the rich
combination of fresh research and readings of familiar
Shakespearean texts that characterize the individual essays. The
first part of the book examines the significance of the figure of
the child in the Shakespearean canon. The second part traces the
rich histories of negotiation, exchange and appropriation that have
characterised Shakespeare's subsequent relations to the cultures of
childhood in literary realms.
