The ?Boy-Man? emerged from the nexus of Rousseau?s counter-Enlightenment cultural primitivism, Sensibility?s ?Man of Feeling?, the Chattertonian poet maudit, and the Romantic idealisation of childhood. The Romantic era saw the proliferation of boy-men, who congregated around such metropolitan institutions as The London Magazine. These included John Keats, Leigh Hunt, Charles Lamb, Hartley Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey and Thomas Hood. In the period of the French Revolution, terms of childishness were used against such writers as Wordsworth, Keats, Hunt and Lamb as a tool of political satire. Yet boy-men writers conversely used their amphibian child-adult literary personae to critique the masculinist ideologies of their era. However, the growing cultural and political conservatism of the nineteenth century, and the emergence of a canon of serious literature, inculcated the relegation of the boy-men from the republic of letters. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Childhood,$x2634-6532 606 $aSocial history 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aChildhood 606 $aAdolescence 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aChildhood, Adolescence and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22090 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aChildhood. 615 0$aAdolescence. 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 14$aSocial History. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aChildhood, Adolescence and Society. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a155.332 700 $aNewbon$b Pete$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228509 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484021003321 996 $aThe Boy-Man, Masculinity and Immaturity in the Long Nineteenth Century$92851998 997 $aUNINA
