About This Item
Johns Hopkins., 2012. Softcover. Very Good. Precocious Children & Childish Adults: Age Inversion in Victorian Literature by Claudia Nelson (ISBN: 9781421405346): "Precocious Children & Childish Adults" explores the intriguing theme of age inversion in Victorian literature. Claudia Nelson examines how Victorian authors depicted children with adult-like qualities and adults with child-like characteristics in their literary works. The book delves into the cultural and social implications of age inversion, offering a fresh perspective on the representation of age in Victorian fiction. Nelson's analysis spans a range of Victorian novels, shedding light on the complex relationships between age, maturity, and identity in the literature of the era. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which Victorian authors challenged conventional notions of age and childhood in their storytelling. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
