Renner argues that the recent proliferation of stories about evil children demonstrates not a declining faith in the innocence of childhood but a desire to preserve its purity. From novels to music videos, photography to video games, the evil child haunts a range of texts and comes in a variety of forms, including changelings, ferals, and monstrous newborns. In this book, Renner illustrates how each subtype offers a different explanation for the problem of the “evil” child and adapts to changing historical circumstances and ideologies.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | evil child; evil children; popular culture; horror; childhood studies; gothic | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-59963-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-59963-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
