The nature of childhood has been much in the public mind recently. Moral panics continually arise about both child victims and child perpetrators of crime. And alongside the horror stories of the headlines, another kind of media representation of children churns out images which evoke nostalgia for a lost golden age of childhood. In this special edition, we explore the controdictions in our ideas of childhood. Essays discuss; child abuse and child crime (including an essay from the sister of one of Fred West's victims); Nabokov and Lolita; the relationship between child and adult in psychoanalysis; the child as material for adult sexual fantasy in literary representation; representations of children in Victorian culture, including Lewis Carrol and John Ruskin; boundaries between adults and children
