Its five groups of thematic essays range across a spectrum of disciplines, periods, and locations, from cultural anthropology and folklore to performance studies and the history of science, and from Anglo-Saxon burial sites to colonial America. Contributors include several renowned writers for children. The opening group of essays, \u003ci\u003eEducating Children\u003c\/i\u003e, explores what is perhaps the most powerful social engine for the shaping of a child. \u003ci\u003ePerforming Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e addresses children at work and the role of play in the development of social imitation and learning. \u003ci\u003eLiteratures of Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e examines texts written for children that reveal alternative conceptions of parent\/child relations. In \u003ci\u003eLegacies of Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e, expressions of grief at the loss of a child offer a window into the family’sconceptions and values. Finally, \u003ci\u003eFictionalizing Literary Cultures for Children\u003c\/i\u003e considers the real, material child versus the fantasy of the child as a subject.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-07-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030142100\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-14211-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 394\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521175339148,"sku":"9783030142100","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030142100.jpg?v=1776009176","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030142100","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
