In this essay, I want to look more closely at the social context which led, for a short while, towards a loosening of the "rules" governing sexual contact between children and adults, a changing understanding of children's erotic life and its place within the home. ...
This essay will trace [the] shifting conception of children's minds and bodies through a close examination of pre- and post-war child rearing guides.
Specifically, I want to explore how conceptions of childhood sensuality and bodily pleasure emerge as positive forces in the post-war literature.
