The emergence of the NSPCC, Flegel argues, had material effects on the lives of children, and profound implications for the role of class in representations of suffering and abused children. 410 0$aAshgate Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChildren in literature 606 $aChild abuse in literature 606 $aChildren$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChildren in literature. 615 0$aChild abuse in literature. 615 0$aChildren$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a362.76094209034 676 $a820.9/3526945 700 $aFlegel$b Monica$01605119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819725403321 996 $aConceptualizing cruelty to children in nineteenth-century England$93930184 997 $aUNINA
