The first book-length study to situate children's literature within the consumer culture of this period, Children's Literature and Material Culture explores the intersection of children's books, their consumerism and the representation of commodities within British children's literature. In tracing the role of objects in key texts from the turn of the century, Jane Suzanne Carroll uncovers the connections between these fictional objects and the real objects that child consumers bought, used, cherished, broke, and threw away. Beginning with the Great Exhibition of 1851, this book takes stock of the changing attitudes towards consumer culture - a movement from celebration to suspicion - to demonstrate that children's literature was a key consumer product, one that influenced young people's views of and relationships with other kinds of commodities. Drawing on a wide spectrum of well-known and less familiar texts from Britain and Ireland, this book examines works from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There and E. Nesbit's Five Children & It to Christina Rossetti's Speaking Likenesses and Mrs Molesworth's The Cuckoo Clock. Placing children's fiction alongside historical documents, shop catalogues, lost property records, and advertisements, Carroll provides fresh critical insight into children's relationships with material culture and reveals that even the most fantastic texts had roots in the ordinary, everyday things"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-186) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: 'Devoured by a Desire to Possess': Children's Literature, Commodities & Consumption -- Remarkable and Perplexing Items: Children and the Great Exhibition -- The Wonders of Common Things: Worldly Goods in the Nineteenth Century -- A Hailstorm of Knitting Needles: Otherworldly Goods and Domestic Fantasy -- 'A Disgraceful State of Things': Bad Consumers and Bad Commodities -- Conclusions: Failed Palaces and Magic Cities. 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Material culture in literature. 650 0 $a Children $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Children $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Child consumers $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Child consumers $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Child consumers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854389 650 7 $a Children $x Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854849 650 7 $a Children's literature, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855967 650 7 $a Children's literature, English $x Irish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855973 650 7 $a Material culture in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011754 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Carroll, Jane Suzanne. $t British children's literature and material culture $d London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2022 $z 9781350201798 $w (DLC) 2021018059 830 0 $a Bloomsbury perspectives on children's literature 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240817012208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1A22D07E5C5E11EFA39121381FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
