The Theme of Childhood in the Works of English Writers

Abstract

Of all periods of a person's life, the most amazing, sweetest and most naive is the period of childhood and therefore the study of the image of a child is not limited to any one discipline. The image of a child runs like a thread through many sciences and is found in art, religion and other areas of public consciousness. In order to understand it more fully, let us consider literature as a separate area in which this image is reflected.
