Reviews of the hardback edition:"One of the finest things about this remarkable book is that it does what so much scholarship strives for and so seldom does: it advances the entire field, and by a huge margin."--James R. Kincaid, author of Child Loving: The Erotic Child and Victorian Culture"Challenging received wisdom about Golden Age writing and children's literature more broadly, Gubar resets the critical stage, rereading canonical texts, reintroducing forgotten ones, and offering a fascinating analysis of children's theatre. A major work of scholarship."--Kenneth Kidd, University of Florida" Artful Dodgers adds to understandings of the period as a whole. It contributes to a range of vital debates regarding literary form, central nineteenth-century writers, including Carroll, Stevenson, and Barrie, and the hierarchies residing in age and gender. Gubar's book is pioneering in demonstrating that Victorian adult writers depicted children much more complexly than modern readers have recognized."--Laurie Langbauer, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"This book will reframe basic assumptions underlying its field. Refusing to condescend either to children or to the Victorians who wrote about them, Marah Gubar generously evokes the surprising-and unsettling-capacities of children and children's literature."--Andrew H. Miller, Indiana University"Gubar makes a significant and timely contribution by proposing that the vision of the child as blank slate may be less widespread among Golden Age children's writers than among today's critics.

It is literary study of a high order." -James Eli Adams, New Books Online"Artful Dodgers is an engaging and provocative analysis of the twentieth-century critical construction of Victorian childhood...Through a combination of close attention to the historical evidence and a steadfast refusal to simplify the data, [Gubar] offers a compelling argument that late-nineteenth-century children's fiction is both more sophisticated and more various than has been widely assumed."-Shelley King, Times Higher Education"Enormously readable and a pleasure to learn from...Gubar's work in "reconceiving" Victorian and Edwardian children's literature is groundbreaking." -- Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies, full of incisive close reading, rigorous yet flexible in method, richly and variously contextualized.

Synopsis
In this new account of the Golden Age of children's fiction, Marah Gubar offers a redefinition of the phenomenon known as the 'cult of the child'. Artful Dodgers looks at the works of Lewis Carroll, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and J. M. Barrie - authors traditionally criticized for arresting the child in a position of iconic innocence - and contends that they in fact rejected this simplistic "child of Nature" paradigm in favor of one based on the child as an artful collaborator. Resisting the Romantic tendency to imagine the child as a pure point of origin, they acknowledge the pervasive power of adult influence, while suggesting that children can and have shared in the shaping of their stories. In her examinations of such classics as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Treasure Island, and The Secret Garden, Gubar uncovers a childhood culture of collaboration in Victorian England in which the ability to work and play alongside adults was often taken for granted. True, this era saw a host of new efforts to establish a strict dividing line between childhood and adulthood, innocence and experience. But despite strenuous reform efforts, many Victorians remained unconvinced of the separateness and sanctity of childhood, including the most influential participants in the cult of the child. Long condemned for erecting a barrier of sentimental nostalgia between adult and child, many late Victorians are here shown to have resisted this trend by instead conceiving of the child as uniquely capable of artistic and intellectual partnership., In this groundbreaking contribution to Victorian and children's literature studies, Marah Gubar proposes a fundamental reconception of the nineteenth-century attitude toward childhood. The ideology of innocence was much slower to spread than we think, she contends, and the people whom we assume were most committed to it--children's authors and members of the infamous "cult of the child"--were actually deeply ambivalent about this Romantic notion. Rather than wholeheartedly promoting a static ideal of childhood purity, Golden Age children's authors often characterize young people as collaborators who are caught up in the constraints of the culture they inhabit, and yet not inevitably victimized as a result of this contact with adults and their world. Such nuanced meditations on the vexed issue of the child's agency, Gubar suggests, can help contemporary scholars to generate more flexible critical approaches to the study of childhood and children's literature.
