This project will offer new understandings of childhood as a historically- and culturally-contingent construct that will impact on perceptions of childhood in twenty-first-century Australia. It will use local and international archives to uncover a variety of early modern texts that were produced for children but have not yet been considered in terms of child readership. It is important to explore the significant historical links between children and literature as it will enable us to access the history of this marginalized group and will result in a more nuanced understanding of the cultural processes of educating children and the important role of literature in defining childhood identities, issues that continue to be relevant today.

该项目将提供对童年的新理解，作为一个历史和文化上的偶然性结构，将影响到二十一世纪世纪澳大利亚对童年的看法。它将利用当地和国际档案来揭示各种为儿童制作但尚未考虑儿童读者的早期现代文本。重要的是要探索儿童和文学之间的重要历史联系，因为它将使我们能够访问这个边缘化群体的历史，并将导致对教育儿童的文化过程和文学在定义儿童身份方面的重要作用的更细致入微的理解，这些问题今天仍然相关。
