Victorian literature for audiences of all ages provides a broad
foundation upon which to explore complex and evolving ideas about
young people. In turn, this collection argues, contemporary works
for young people that draw on Victorian literature and culture
ultimately reflect our own disruptions and upheavals, particularly
as they relate to child and adolescent readers and our experiences
of them. The essays herein suggest that we struggle now, as the
Victorians did then, to assert a cohesive understanding of young
readers and that this lack of cohesion is a result of or a parallel
to the disruptions taking place on a larger (even global) scale.
