THE HISTORY OF CHILDHOOD
CHILD INSANITY IN ENGLAND, 1845–1907 STEVEN J. TAYLOR
Palgrave Studies in the History of Childhood Series Editors: George Rousseau University of Oxford, UK Laurence Brockliss University of Oxford, UK
Aims of the Series Palgrave Studies in the History of Childhood is the first of its kind to historicise childhood in the English-speaking world; at present no historical series on children/childhood exists, despite burgeoning areas within Child Studies. The series aims to act both as a forum for publishing works in the history of childhood and a mechanism for consolidating the identity and attraction of the new discipline.
