This collection of essays explores the remarkable range and
cultural significance of the engagement with 'infancy' during the
Romantic period. Taking its point of departure in the commonplace
claim that the Romantics invented childhood, the book traces that
engagement across national boundaries, in the visual arts, in works
of educational theory and natural philosophy, and in both fiction
and non-fiction written for children. Essays authored by scholars
from a range of national and disciplinary backgrounds reveal how
Romantic-period representations of and for children constitute
sites of complex discursive interaction, where ostensibly unrelated
areas of enquiry are brought together through common tropes and
topoi associated with infancy. Broadly new-historicist in approach,
but drawing also on influential theoretical descriptions of genre,
discipline, mediation, cultural exchange, and comparative
methodologies, the collection also seeks to rethink the idea of a
clear-cut dichotomy between Enlightenment and Romantic conceptions
of infancy.
