Nelson (English, Texas A&M U.) examines 'child-women' and 'child-men' characters and differing attitudes toward them in Victorian literature by authors including Dickens, Stevenson, and Stoker. Related themes discussed include the intersection of age and sex roles with class, Freud's conception of the uncanny double, period scientific ideas about the evolution of the sexes, and the influence of fiction for children on Victorian literature for adults.
