This book documents American modernism's efforts to disenchant
adult and child readers alike of the essentialist view of childhood
as redemptive, originary, and universal. For James, Barnes, Du
Bois, and Stein, the twentieth century's move to position the child
at the center of the self and society raised concerns about the
shrinking value of maturity and prompted a critical response that
imagined childhood and children's narratives in ways virtually
antagonistic to both. In this original study, Michelle H. Phillips
argues that American modernism's widespread critique of childhood
led to some of the period's most meaningful and most misunderstood
experiments with interiority, narration, and children's literature.
