This study challenges critical orthodoxy by showing that childhood became a focus of interest in British fiction well before the Romantic period. It also argues that children in the Victorian novel, far from being sentimental figures, are psychologically unique and contribute positively and significantly to the narrative discourse. Contemporary ideology, the novelists' autobiographical and humanitarian impulses, and gender issues, are all examined as factors in this development. Works by the major authors are analysed alongside others by non-canonical and children's writers.

The Author: After taking her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from King's College, London, Jacqueline Banerjee has taught at universities in Canada, Ghana, India and England, and has also held a research fellowship at Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge. The author of numerous scholarly articles, she is currently teaching at Kobe College and in the graduate school of Konan University, Japan.
