The book reveals a concept of adolescence as significant as the Romantic cult of childhood that preceded it, which will be of interest to scholars of both childrens literature and Victorian culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934875418912,"sku":"NEW0415964768","price":312.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/juvenile-literature-and-british-society-1850-1950-the-age-of-adolescence-childrens-literature-and-culture-0415964768","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
