Although there have always been children, the concept of
"childhood" is more recent than many people think, with one
French historian declaring that childhood didn't exist until the
17th century.
In this episode, we'll explore how ideas of childhood have
changed, from John Locke to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, from the
English Romantic poets right through to the creation of the
teenager in post-war America.
