Building on recent critical work, this volume offers a
comprehensive consideration of the nature and forms of medieval and
early modern childhoods, viewed through literary cultures. Its five
groups of thematic essays range across a spectrum of disciplines,
periods, and locations, from cultural anthropology and folklore to
performance studies and the history of science, and from
Anglo-Saxon burial sites to colonial America. Contributors include
several renowned writers for children. The opening group of essays,
Educating Children, explores what is perhaps the most powerful
social engine for the shaping of a child. Performing Childhood
addresses children at work and the role of play in the development
of social imitation and learning. Literatures of Childhood examines
texts written for children that reveal alternative conceptions of
parent/child relations. In Legacies of Childhood, expressions of
grief at the loss of a child offer a window into the family's
conceptions and values. Finally, Fictionalizing Literary Cultures
for Children considers the real, material child versus the fantasy
of the child as a subject.
