Summary |
Substantial critical attention has been paid in recent years to the ways in which English-language children's fiction of the long 18th century reflected diverse adult anxieties and social concerns. This volume offers a selection of stories encountered by young readers, written by Irish authors and published between 1765 and 1808. |
