This ground-breaking work provides the first history of ideas
about the sexual child in modernity. Beginning with twenty-first
century panics about sexualization, the authors address why the
sexual child excites such powerful emotions in the Anglophone west.
Historical analysis of the past two centuries offers some
challenging and insightful answers. Drawing on a wide range of
different materials from enlightenment philosophy, medicine, social
purity sexual hygiene, psychoanalysis and child development, this
book illustrates that current panics have a consistent and
fascinating history. Egan and Hawkes strive to progress beyond the
current impasse of fear and anxiety.
