popular science and medicine, this book brings to light the
scientific entertainments, shows and institutions, and the material
and print cultures that revolutionized the ways in which Victorian
audiences encountered childhood. It explores Dickens's literary and
journalistic writings, his private interests and public causes
across the span of his long career. In doing so, it offers a new
way of understanding Dickens's preoccupation with childhood by

childhood and with new practices of scientific inquiry shaped the
development of his narrative techniques and aesthetic imagination.
