- This major scholarly Palgrave-published monograph is the first comprehensive study of early modern children’s reading practices. Incorporating new archival research (undertaken at US, UK and Irish institutions) into children’s marginalia and often-overlooked genres (including instructional manuals, advice books, riddles, fables and broadsheets), alongside drama, poetry and prose from a period of over 150 years, it offers an extensive, original thesis that fresh concepts of childhood emerged through the changing relationships between oral, manuscript and print cultures of the period. It presents new accounts of children’s reading experiences that challenge traditional narratives of the child’s participation in literary cultures.
