"The Erosion of Childhood" discusses the changing status of
children from the mid-Victorian period to the end of World War I.
The author emphasizes that their status was as objects to be used
and abused, rather than as people with personalities in their own
right. The book encompasses the worlds of work, school and home, in
which children were exploited, and reviews the conditions to which
they were subjected. The author explains how, with time, such
conditions came to be improved, and looks at the way in which the
child as worker inspired the first legislative attempts to ensure a
basic education. Such attempts were, he believes, inspired not so
much from altruistic reasons as to "make the child more civilized"
and disciplined as good factory fodder.
