This study investigates the representation of childhood innocence in 19th century fiction and its contemporary counterpart in order to identify similar or contrasting points between fictional images of child innocence in both eras. The study attempts to look into the origins of contemporary construction of children and childhood innocence to prove that many recent children's novels still retain strong traces of 19th century values in their depiction of childhood innocence. To achieve this goal, the study discusses the conflict between the Evangelical and the Romantic constructions of 19th century children. The construction of contemporary child is also explored. The study shows great variability in the depiction of innocence in both eras; however, one consistent thread linking 19th century children's fiction with its contemporary counterpart is the presentation of childhood innocence compared to adult corruption. The representation of children as experienced in contemporary novels is also examined in order to draw attention to the inadequacy of adults to protect the young. In 19th century novels, as the study indicates, the representation of non-innocence or naughtiness is used to create moments of reconciliation between child and adult and to emphasis conscience and remorse in child characters. In addition, the study demonstrates that innocence in both periods is shown as essential and characteristic of children and young adults. That sexual awareness is used to determine innocence is also indicated. The study ultimately asserts the need for childhood innocence. |
