Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Writing through Boyhood explores how boyhood was constructed in different creative spaces that reflected the lived experience of young boys through the long eighteenth century-not simply in children's literature but in novels, poetry, medical advice, criminal broadsides, and automaton exhibitions. The chapters encompass such rituals as breeching, learning to read and write, and going to school. They also consider the lives of boys such as chimney sweeps and convicted criminals, whose bodily labor was considered their only value, and who often did not live beyond boyhood. Defined by a variety of tasks, expectations, and objectifications, boys-real, imagined, and sometimes both-were subject to the control of their elders, and used as tools in the cause of civil society, commerce, and empire. This book argues that boys in the long eighteenth century constituted a particular kind of currency, both valuable and expendable-valuable because of gender, expendable because of youth.

Descrizione libro Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Looking at privileged boys in school as well as those of the laboring class, criminal boys who ended up in prison, and apprentices in the printing press whose labor helped them achieve respectable manhood, this book argues that boys in the long eighteenth century constituted a particular kind of currency, both valuable and expendablevaluable because of gender, expendable because of youth. As such, boys were all, one way or another, made useful, and their stories run the gamut from trivial to tragic. Codice articolo 9781644533208
