Excerpt from Juvenilia, Vol. 2: Being a Second Series of Essays on Sundry AEesthetical Questions O genius, mysterious, perennial and supreme emanation of the divine; more powerful than ease, or pleasure, or vanity, or rapacity, or whatsoever baseness is nur tured in the human heart; genius which upraisest our soul more than Virtue, and shakest it more than love, and draggest it along more irresistibly than beauty, making us soar up to heaven at the moment of kneeling on the earth; genius, thou also canst turn into children the most villainous sceptics; and turn into poets, poets of the great poetry which is not written nor printed but lived, the respectable creatures whose ideal consists in two thousand a year.

Home and Away: The Place of the Child Writer is an important contribution to the fast-growing and rapidly evolving field of literary juvenilia studies. This collection of essays by fifteen scholars is the first in this area to be published in the past decade. To reflect recent developments, Home and Away both theorises the current state of this richly interdisciplinary academic field and exemplifies juvenilia studies in action. An authoritative review of the origins and future of literary juvenilia studies is followed by a collection of essays on individual authors. Wide-ranging in literary periods covered, geographical regions represented, and methodological approaches employed, the collection is organized around the basic tenet that the familiar world of home and the as–yet–untravelled territory of adulthood are both important to the imaginations of juvenile authors. The relationships and values of the parental home, the topography of the home place, the literature and lives that first fired their imaginations as children, find expression in young writers’ works. So too do the unfamiliar or extra-familiar connections, lifestyles, landscapes, and literature that the child writer anticipates, imagines, or invents, whether as a means of temporary escape while still at home, or as a process of preparing for adulthood and artistic maturity.
