Childhood in its Time: The Child in British Literature

A two-day international conference.

Featuring around fifty speakers drawn from a wide range of countries, the Childhood in its Time conference seeks to trace the ways in which childhood is reflected, portrayed, and even created in British literature from the Renaissance to the present day. Both the history of childhood and attention to the child in literature are rapidly expanding areas of research  to which this conference contributes. Drawing together scholars interested in children’s literature and those who research the child in adult literature, the conference will examine how literary childhood is represented within its historical period and how literary representations of childhood develop over time

This event is open to the public.

Venue: North Holmes Campus, Canterbury, Powell Building
Time: All Day
