This book addresses the inherent ambiguities in ‘childhood’, a widely familiar term. The main problem lies in the definition, duration and diverse socio-cultural implications of ‘childhood’, which is a part of everyone’s life. To explore the literary, artistic and cultural representation of this constantly evolving term, this book provides insights into a number of relevant issues relating to childhood. Explicitly rejecting the idea of childhood as an unambiguous monolith, it offers various critical approaches to the treatment of childhood with all its complexities in art and literature.
