"Childhood in Literature and Art" by Horace E. Scudder is a study that likely delves into the depiction of childhood across various literary and artistic traditions, written in the late 19th century. The book explores the evolution of childhood as a theme in literature and art, examining its significance from ancient texts to the modern era. Scudder aims to demonstrate how literature for children emerged alongside a growing recognition of childhood as a distinct and vital stage of life. The opening of the work sets the stage for this exploration by suggesting that the acknowledgment of childhood in literature has only been pronounced since the late 18th century. Scudder reflects on how earlier works often overlooked children as significant characters, focusing instead on adults and their experiences. He discusses the gradual shift in perspectives, noting the increasing representation of childhood in literature, especially prominent with poets like Wordsworth. The introduction promises to consider various epochs, from Greek and Roman literature to English and American texts, providing a historical framework to understand the evolving perceptions of childhood.
