It provides detailed conceptual accounts of issues related to cultural and social identity which are central to our contemporary understanding of childhood and children. It demonstrates how art and literature function as key markers in understanding major cultural and social shifts, and in doing so, allows readers to appreciate the relationship art and literature share with society's cultural development. The book features the author's illustrations which function as a form of symbolist illustration, inspiring ideas, thoughts, and feelings that reflect the mood and transmit the key messages of each chapter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Handler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837721327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837721320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sophie Handler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46640746955007,"sku":"9781837721320","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2990bc10-d6a5-445f-81cc-0d1f53ebda3b.jpg?v=1740670413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeking-childhood-sophie-handler-9781837721320","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
