Ventures into Childland: Victorians, Fairy Tales, and Femininity
Only 1 left in stock
$8.00
Behind the innocent face of Victorian fairy tales such as Through the Looking Glass or Mopsa the Fairy lurks the specter of an intense gender debate about the very nature of childhood. Offering brilliant rereadings of classics from the “Golden Age of Children’s Literature” as well as literature commonly considered “grown-up,” U. C. Knoepflmacher illuminates this debate, probing deeply into the relations between adults and children, adults and their own childhood selves, and the lives of beloved Victorian authors and their “children’s tales.” Ventures into Childland will delight and instruct all readers of children’s classics, and will be essential reading for students of Victorian culture and gender studies.

Most of them have been removed, however it is possible that a stray few were overlooked. If this is the case, they are both unobtrusive and easily removable. Additionally, there may be annotations. In most, however not all cases, they are solely in the introduction/foreword. Any clarifying questions should be emailed to tornlight@gmail.com*
