What We Mourn: Child Death and the Politics of Grief in Nineteenth-Century Britain - Victorian Literature and Culture Series
Lydia Murdoch
Victorian society’s evolving view of child mortality reshaped state duties and politicized grief. Public mourning turned private sorrow into powerful claims for rights, transforming childhood into a symbol of citizenship and igniting change in how the state protected its most vulnerable.
