Explores the stakes of recurrent depictions of children’s violent, damaging and tenuously restorative play with objects within a long nineteenth-century of fictional and educational writing. Toy Stories is the first study to take these scenes of anger and overwhelm seriously, challenging received ideas about both the nineteenth century and its literary forms.
