This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including
Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh
approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It
charts the significance of historical episodes and characters
during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period
in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often
experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of
amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and
shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children
were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from
playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in
plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across
different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular
pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British
historical imagination. -- .
