SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
A look at childhood in Edwardian fiction, this book challenges assumptions that the Edwardian period was simply a continuation of the Victorian or the start of the modern. Exploring both classics and popular fiction, the authors provide a compelling picture of the Edwardian fictional cult of childhood.
