The Child That Haunts Us focuses on the symbolic use of the
child archetype through the exploration of miniature characters
from the realms of children s literature.
Jung argued that the child archetype should never be mistaken
for the real child. In this book Susan Hancock considers how the
child is portrayed in literature and fairytale and explores the
suggestion from Jung and Bachelard that the symbolic resonance of
the miniature is inversely proportionate to its size.
We encounter many instances where the miniature characters are a
visibly vulnerable other, yet often these occur in association with
images of the supernatural, as the desired or feared object of
adult imagination. In The Child That Haunts Us it is emphasised
that the treatment by any society, past or present, of its smallest
and most vulnerable members is truly revealing of the values it
really holds.
This original and sensitive exploration will be of particular
interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as
academics engaged in Jungian studies, children s literature,
childhood studies and those with an interest in socio-cultural
constructions of childhood.
