Sobre IBD

This diverse collection addresses not only the roles assigned to children in the context of nineteenth-century consumer culture, but also children themselves as agents in the formation of that culture. Topics include child performers on the Victorian stage; imperialism in adventure fiction; gender, sexuality and consumerism; and the commercialization of orphans. The essays demonstrate the rising investment children and adults made in commodities as sources of identity and human worth.
