Overview
Holt argues that the social construction of the public schoolboy, a figure made ubiquitous by a huge body of fictional, biographical, and journalistic work, had a disproportionate role to play in the development of social perceptions of adolescence in British society, and on ideas of civic education. This book will engage not only scholars of children's literature but Victorianists and those interested in the history of educational practice.
