Tracing play, as a societal and historical construct, as it surfaces time and again in children's literary texts as well as children's literary texts as they surface time and again in situations and environments of children's play, this book underscores how play and literature are consistently deployed in tandem in attempts to create ideal citizens - even as those ideals varied greatly and were dependent on factors such as gender, ethnicity, colonial status, and class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Beissel Heath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472487338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472487339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Michelle Beissel Heath","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088342495487,"sku":"9781472487339","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_080591ff-e997-45ec-9603-d3cf09fef5e4.jpg?v=1769104326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nineteenth-century-fictions-of-childhood-and-michelle-beissel-heath-9781472487339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
