In one of the first studies of its kind, Orphan texts seeks to insert the orphan into the larger critical areas of the family and childhood in Victorian culture. Laura Peters considers canonical texts alongside lesser known works from popular culture in order to establish the context in which discourses of orphanhood operated.
