For James, Barnes, Du Bois, and Stein, the twentieth century’s move to position the child at the center of the self and society raised concerns about the shrinking value of maturity and prompted a critical response that imagined childhood and children’s narratives in ways virtually antagonistic to both. In this original study, Mason Phillips argues that American modernism’s widespread critique of childhood led to some of the period’s most meaningful and most misunderstood experiments with interiority, narration, and children’s literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-05-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349701414\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-50807-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 234.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45588063551628,"sku":"9781349701414","price":25.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349701414_821bea2b-edf3-4141-82da-9529b94aa460.jpg?v=1767271663","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349701414","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
