Book Synopsis Narratives of Child Neglect in Romantic and Victorian Culture by : G. Benziman
Book excerpt: Contextualizing the topos of the neglected child within a variety of discourses, this book challenges the assumption that the early nineteenth century witnessed a clear transition from a Puritan to a liberating approach to children and demonstrates that oppressive assumptions survive in major texts considered part of the Romantic cult of childhood.
