Within the idealized middle class family circle, authors such as Charles Dickens were read and appreciated by members of all ages. By examining some of Dickens's works that contain the imperfect child, and placing them alongside works by Kingsley, MacDonald, Stretton, Rossetti, and Nesbit, Malkovich considers the construction, romanticization, and socialization of the Victorian child within work read by and for children during the Victorian Era and early Edwardian period. These authors use elements of religion, death, irony, fairy worlds, gender, and class to illustrate the need for the ideal child and yet the impossibility of such a construct. Malkovich contends that the 'imperfect' child more readily reflects reality, whereas the 'ideal' child reflects an unattainable fantasy and while debates rage over how to define children's literature, such children, though somewhat changed, can still be found in the most popular of literatures read by children contemporarily."--Publisher's website. 000470237 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000470237 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000470237 650_0 $$aChildren in literature. 000470237 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMalkovich, Amberyl, 1974-$$tCharles Dickens and the Victorian child.$$dNew York : Routledge, c2013$$z9780415899086$$w(DLC) 2012032513$$w(OCoLC)808684554 000470237 830_0 $$aChildren's literature and culture. 000470237 8520_ $$bacq 000470237 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000470237 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000470237 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1125165$$zOnline Access 000470237 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1125165$$zOnline Access 000470237 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470237$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470237 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000470237 980__ $$aBIB 000470237 982__ $$aEbook 000470237 983__ $$aOnline
