Reading Children: Literacy, Property, and the Dilemmas of Childhood in Nineteenth-Century Americ by Patricia Crain
Requirements: .PDF reader, 11 MB
Overview: What does it mean for a child to be a “reader” and how did American culture come to place such a high value on this identity? Reading Children offers a history of the relationship between children and books in Anglo-American modernity, exploring long-lived but now forgotten early children’s literature, discredited yet highly influential pedagogical practices, the property lessons inherent in children’s book ownership, and the emergence of childhood itself as a literary property.
