Scott's style is reader friendly, even poetic. Recommended.

J.S. Carducci, CHOICE

Charlotte Scott's The Child in Shakespeare brings into focus particularly vulnerable figures within that space. Organized by genre, and surveying Shakespeare's career-long interest in all phases of childhood, from infancy to adolescence, Scott's book opens with a vivid account of royal children in the early history plays, who, she argues, are forced to enter an "adult world" of political intrigue for which they are hopelessly ill-equipped.

Laura Kolb, Times Literary Supplement

The Child in Shakespeare calls scholar-teachers working with Shakespeare to think deeply about how representations of unique and particular children and childhoods make meaning in Shakespeare's plays and beyond — a call that is of utmost importance in this particular political moment.

Alicia Andrzejewski, College of William & Mary, Renaissance Quarterly

This book examines the child on Shakespeare's stage. As a life force, an impassioned plea for justice, a legacy, history, memory or image of love or violence, children are everywhere in Shakespeare's plays. Focusing on Shakespeare's unique interest in the young body, the life stage, and the parental and social dynamic, this book offers the first sustained account of the role and representation of the child in Shakespeare's dramatic imagination. Drawing on a vast range of contemporary texts, including parenting manuals and household and pedagogic texts, as well as books on nursing and maternity, child birth, and child rearing, The Child in Shakespeare explores the contexts in which the idea of the child is mobilised as a body and image on the early modern stage. Understanding the child, not only as a specific life stage, but also as a role and an abstraction of feeling, this book examines why Shakespeare, who showed little interest in writing for children in the playing companies, wrote so powerfully about them on his stage.
