It explores how this liminal figure ? a boy operating within a man?s world ? addresses adult anxieties about boyhood and the boy?s transition to manhood. It investigates the literary, social and ideological significance of a vast array of popular detective narratives appearing in ?penny dreadfuls? and story papers which were aimed primarily at working-class boys. This study charts the relationship between developments in the representation of the fictional boy detective and changing expectations of and attitudes towards real-life British boys during a period where the boy?s role in the future of the Empire was a key concern. It emphasises the value of the early fictional boy detective as an ideological tool to condition boy readers to fulfil adult desires and expectations of what boyhood and, in the future, proper manhood should entail. It will be of particular importance to scholars working in the fields of children?s literature, crime fiction and popular culture. 410 0$aCritical Approaches to Children's Literature 606 $aChildren's literature 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aChildren's Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/823000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/821000 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 610 $adrengebøger. 610 $atriviallitteratur. 610 $absup. 615 0$aChildren's literature. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?19th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 14$aChildren's Literature. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a809.89282 700 $aAndrew$b Lucy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0941381 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255074303321 996 $aThe Boy Detective in Early British Children?s Literature$92274706 997 $aUNINA
