The paper discusses the interrelationships between the transformations of the concept of childhood as they occurred up to the second half of the nineteenth century in England and the underlying references made to them in “Great Expectations”, by Charles Dickens, resorting to historical and sociological research material (Philippe Ariès, among others) and also to the contemporary critical fortune of Dickens’s works.References
