These chapters encompass such rituals as breeching, learning to read and write, and going to school. They also consider the lives of boys whose bodily labor was their only value, and who often did not live beyond boyhood: chimney sweeps and convicted criminals. Defined by a variety of tasks, expectations, and objectifications, boys-real, imagined, and sometimes both-were subject to the control of their elders, and used as tools in the cause of civil society, commerce, and empire"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: time for boys -- The boy in the breeches: Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy (1759-67) growing into gender -- The boy in the school: Ellenor Fenn's rhetorical tools in School Dialogues, for Boys (1783) -- The boy in the machine: Pierre Jaquet-Droz's Automaton, the Writer (1774) -- The boy in the chimney: Sweeps' apprentices, suffering bodies, and Jonathan Swift -- The boy in the gallows: crime, punishment, broadsheets, afterlives -- The boy in the printing press: Printer's devils and upward mobility -- Conclusion 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a Boys in literature. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Great Britain $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Boys in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837395 650 7 $a English literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Literature and society $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 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 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D007E4C2141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
