{"product_id":"juvenile-literature-and-british-society-charles-ferrall-9780415964760","title":"Juvenile Literature and British Society, 1850-1950: The Age of Adolescence","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, Charles Ferrall and Anna Jackson argue that the Victorians created a concept of adolescence that lasted into the twentieth century and yet is strikingly at odds with post-Second World War notions of adolescence as a period of \"storm and stress.\" In the enormously popular \"juvenile\" literature of the period, primarily boys' and girls' own adventure and school stories, adolescence is acknowledged as a time of sexual awareness and yet also of a romantic idealism that is lost with marriage, a time when boys and girls acquire adult duties and responsibilities and yet have not had to assume the roles of breadwinner or household manager. The book reveals a concept of adolescence as significant as the Romantic cult of childhood that preceded it, which will be of interest to scholars of both children's literature and Victorian culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Ferrall,Anna Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415964768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415964760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2010","brand":"Charles Ferrall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064978452735,"sku":"9780415964760","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9b61458-15fd-42de-a0a5-63adade1f94f.jpg?v=1768672320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/juvenile-literature-and-british-society-charles-ferrall-9780415964760","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
