Produktbeschreibung

This book offers insights into the typically overlooked perspectives of children and children's culture in Europe, North America and the Global South, and Australia during the period around the First World War, engaging with developments in Children's Literature, War Studies, and Education. Essays visit a network of social, cultural, and political contexts as they are played out in nurseries all over the world in war toys and games. Perspectives on German, British, Australian, and Canadian children's fiction offer an unprecedented account of the lives, stories, games, and toys of children during the First World War, and of how those lives were constructed, reconstructed, and changed.
