It focuses on different varieties of the child found in the work of a range of Irish Protestant writers, theologians, philosophers, educationalists, politicians and parents from the early seventeenth century up to the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is structured around a detailed examination of six ‘versions’ of the child: the evil child, the vulnerable\/innocent child, the political child, the believing child, the enlightened child, and the freakish child. It traces these versions across a wide range of genres (fiction, sermons, political pamphlets, letters, educational treatises, histories, catechisms and children’s bibles), showing how concepts of childhood related to debates about Irish nationality, politics and history across these two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Bad to the bone: the evil child\u003cbr\u003e2 The Massacre of the Innocents: the vulnerable child\u003cbr\u003e3 Instruction \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e delight?
