In this groundbreaking and wide-ranging study, Teresa Michals
explores why some books originally written for a mixed-age
audience, such as Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, eventually became
children's literature, while others, such as Samuel Richardson's
Pamela, became adult novels. Michals considers how historically
specific ideas about age shaped not only the readership of novels,
but also the ways that characters are represented within them.
Arguing that age is first understood through social status, and
later through the ideal of psychological development, the book
examines the new determination of authors at the end of the
nineteenth century, such as Henry James, to write for an audience
of adults only. In these novels and in their reception, a world of
masters and servants became a world of adults and children.
