Introduction : representing childhood in eighteenth-century English prose and prints -- 2. Fashioning children's bodies -- 3. Framing children's minds -- 4. Family matters -- 5. Public children -- 6. Conclusion.Shedding light on an important and neglected topic in childhood studies, Anja Muller interrogates how different concepts of childhood proliferated and were construed in several important eighteenth-century periodicals and satirical prints. Muller focuses on The Tatler, The Spectator, The Guardian, The Female Tatler, and The Female Spectator, arguing that these periodicals contributed significantly to the construction, development, and popularization of childhood concepts that provided the basis for later ideas such as the 'Romantic child'. Informed by the theoretical concept of 'framing', by which certain concepts of childhood are accepted as legitimate while others are excluded, Framing Childhood analyses the textual and graphic constructions of the child's body, educational debates, how the shift from genealogical to affective bonding affected conceptions of parent-child relations, and how prints employed child figures as focalizers in their representations of public scenes. In examining links between text and image, Muller uncovers the role these media played in the genealogy of childhood before the 1790s, offering a re-visioning of the myth that situates the origin of childhood in late eighteenth-century England."Ashgate studies in childhood, 1700 to the present.English prose literature18th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish periodicalsHistory18th centuryChildren in literatureEducation in literatureChildren in mass mediaEducation in mass mediaChildrenGreat BritainHistory18th centuryEnglish prose literatureHistory and criticism.English periodicalsHistoryChildren in literature.Education in literature.Children in mass media.Education in mass media.ChildrenHistory828/.508093523Müller Anja1969 September 24-,933962FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910154613103321Framing childhood in eighteenth-century English periodicals and prints, 1689-17892104385UNINA
