Romanticism and the Vocation of Childhood Book

Judith Plotz explores the normative role that childhood played in Romantic literature. The Romantics claimed the â??discoveryâ? of childhood and privileged the child as a model human being essentially connected to nature.

Romanticism and the Vocation of Childhood describes the obsessive romantic cherishing of childhood above adulthood. Chapters on Wordsworth, Lamb, DeQuincey, and the â??Liâ??le Hartleyâ? Coleridge anatomize four different strategies for making durable literary and psychological use of childhood experience and the childâ??s literary persona.Read More
