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

By Anja Müller

Shedding light on an important and neglected topic in childhood studies, Anja M 1/4ller interrogates how different concepts of childhood proliferated and were construed in eighteenth-century periodicals and satirical prints. In examining links between text and image, M 1/4ller uncovers the role these media played in the genealogy of childhood prior to the 1790s, challenging the myth that situates the origin of childhood in late eighteenth-century England.
