Framing Childhood in Eighteenth-Century English Periodicals and Prints, 1689-1789 - Muller, Anja

Interrogates how different concepts of childhood proliferated and were construed in several eighteenth-century periodicals and satirical prints. This work analyses the textual and graphic constructions of the child's body, educational debates, and how the shift from genealogical to affective bonding affected conceptions of parent-child relations.
