This book looks at the changing shape of children's literature in
English from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. In particular
it examines the dialect between 'enclosure' and 'exposure', control
and freedom of both fictional child and child reader, how the
balance of these forces has altered over time, and the possible
reasons for these changes. It also looks at the representation of
the child in the English novel from the 1830s to the 1860s - the
period preceding the publication of Alice in Wonderland , the first
major work of literature for children - and the influence of such
representation in later children's books. Writers as well known as
Lewis Carroll, Louisa M. Alcott, Rudyard Kipling and Charlotte
Bronte are examined in the course of this work, but this study also
considers works which have been (unfairly) neglected till now and
which deserve to be better known; this list includes the Marlow
series by Antonia Forest, Jane Gardam's Bilgewater and Henry Handel
Richardson's The Getting of Wisdom .
