商品描述

Literary Cultures and Nineteenth-Century Childhoods explores the construction of the child and the development of texts for children in the nineteenth century through the application of fresh theoretical approaches and attention to aspects of literary childhoods that have only recently begun to be illuminated. This scope enables examination of the child in canonical nineteenth-century novels by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charlotte Bronte, and Thomas Hardy alongside well-known fiction intended for young readers by George MacDonald, Christabel Coleridge, and Kate Greenaway. The century was also distinctive for the rise of the children's magazine, and this book broadens the definition of literary cultures to include magazines produced both by, and for, young people. The volume examines how the child and family are conceptualised, how children are positioned as readers in genres including the domestic novel, school story, Robinsonade, and fantasy fiction, how literary childhoods are written and politicised, and how childhood intersects with perceptions of animals and the natural environment. The range of chapters in this collection and the texts they consider demonstrates the variability and fluidity of literary cultures and nineteenth-century childhoods.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《文學文化與十九世紀的童年》探討了十九世紀對於兒童的建構以及為兒童發展的文本，透過新穎的理論方法和對文學童年各個方面的關注，這些方面最近才開始受到重視。這一範疇使得我們能夠檢視查爾斯·狄更斯、伊莉莎白·蓋斯凱爾、夏綠蒂·布朗特和托馬斯·哈代等經典十九世紀小說中的兒童形象，以及喬治·麥克唐納、克里斯塔貝爾·科勒律治和凱特·格林威的知名兒童文學作品。這個世紀的另一個特點是兒童雜誌的興起，本書擴展了文學文化的定義，將由年輕人創作和為年輕人製作的雜誌納入其中。本書探討了兒童和家庭的概念化，兒童在家庭小說、學校故事、魯賓遜故事和奇幻小說等類型中作為讀者的定位，文學童年的書寫和政治化，以及童年如何與對動物和自然環境的認知交織。本書中各章的範圍及其考慮的文本展示了文學文化和十九世紀童年的多樣性和流動性。
