This seminal work examines the concurrence of childhood rebellion and conformity in Bengali literary texts (including adult texts), a pertinent yet unexplored area, making it a first of its kind. It is a study of the voice of child protagonists across children's and adult literature in Bengali vis-a-vis the institutions of family, the education system, and the nationalist movement in the ninenteenth and twentieth centuries.
