Trade Review
Olsen’s astute, meticulously documented, and compelling account of the emergence of modern boyhood and adolescence illuminates aspects of fin-de-siécle British society that have been overlooked. It is a wonderful addition to a growing literature on youth and masculinity. -- Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London * American Historical Review *
Juvenile Nation is a timely and much-needed contribution to the history of young people ... [It] reveals a number of exciting new points of departure in the social and cultural history of late imperial Britain. * Social History *
