Additional information
This collection redefines the notion of childhood within Dickens studies by developing a new set of paradigms beyond biography which include Romanticism, the family, empire and difference, and a theoretical conception of the child. Peters’s considerable expertise informs the curation of the volume and the 6000 word critical introduction, which set out new agendas for Dickens and literary childhood studies, ie., to understand the child and childhood as concepts central to and shaping significant social and aesthetic contexts. As such Dickens’s work demonstrates a sustained and informed engagement with these concepts rather than merely a biographical impulse.
