Victorian alphabet books and the education of the eye: British approaches to literacy through the nineteenth century

By

Abstract

"This title explores what nineteenth-century alphabet books can tell us about literacy and constructions of childhood in Britain throughout this period. The volume shows how artists and writers including William Thackeray, Edward Lear, and Kate Greenaway participated in ongoing debates about what counted as literacy and how reading should be taught."--From publisher
