Thursday, November 3, 9:30 am to 10:45 am (Tango)
This panel will explore how books of the past featuring boy heroes were impacted by larger cultural and historical contexts occurring at the time of their authorship, while also considering the influence of historical and literary movements upon contemporary books featuring boy characters. Texts considered will include Tom Brown’s Schooldays, Peter Pan, and the Harry Potter series.
