Images of Youth: Age, Class, and the Male Youth Problem, 1880-1920
Angebote / Angebote:
Images of Youth demonstrates the significance, long underestimated, of the male adolescent in British society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The male working-class youth was regarded as posing a serious problem--not only economically, but morally and socially as well. Investigating the causes of this, Hendrick examines the attitudes towards youth and its behavior, contemporary perceptions of "boy labour, " and the "discovery" of the working-class adolescent. He goes on to consider the various attempts to solve the problem: philanthropy (the youth movement), collectivism (a juvenile labor exchange and vocational guidance system), and further education (part-time continuation schools).
