This new book discusses nineteenth-century juvenilia from the development of the child writer into the adult author. Reviewing a juvenile's role in the writing progression to famous authors, the book discusses current academic scholarship for juveniles and focuses on the individual literary progressions of nineteenth-century British writers William Harrison Ainsworth, Emily Brontë, and George Eliot, and the Anglo-Irish writer, Maria Edgeworth.

The analysis of these authors provides historical, regional, gothic, and lyric context and includes an interdisciplinary study into the fields of history, biography, and languages and linguistics. Each chapter is written as an individual case study espousing the importance of the juvenilia on the development of the later, more publicised, authorship. Referencing the perceived neglect the juvenilia has received from the academic community, this book will also discuss the future of the genre.
