| dc.description.abstract | Until recent years, all the principal characters in
English literature were adults. Children had no place in
literature except as they might affect their elders and their
elders’ relations to one another. It was not considered
necessary by the writers to reveal the development of the
childhood of their main characters. Children were supposed
to be seen and not heard. This belief seemed to dominate
literature until about the nineteenth century. Writers differ
in their opinions as to when the child entered literature.
