He explores what they say about the nature of the child, the role of inherited and individual traits, the status of education, the remarkable number of disruptions these children suffered as they grew up, the rites of passage that mark coming of age, the various genres of childhood narratives, and the historical development of such narratives UR - https://doi.org/10.9783/9781512806670 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781512806670 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9781512806670.jpg ER -
