What did childhood mean in early modern England? To answer this
question, this book examines two key contemporary institutions: the
school and the stage. The rise of grammar schools and universities,
and of the professional stage featuring boy actors, reflect the
culture's massive investment in children. In this collection, an
international group of well-respected scholars examines how the
representation of children by major playwrights and poets reflected
the period's educational and cultural values. This book contains
chapters that range from Shakespeare and Ben Jonson to the
contemporary plays of Tom Stoppard, and that explore childhood in
relation to classical humanism, medicine, art, and psychology,
revealing how early modern performance and educational practices
produced attitudes to childhood that still resonate to this day.
