The first history of childhood play and imagination in pre-war AustraliaThis groundbreaking book is a history of the childhood imagination in Australia between 1890 and the outbreak of the Second World War. It is a story about the generations that grew up at a time when nation and empire were being reimagined amid the globalising currents of war, technology and trade. Theirs were faces that would remain forever young in monochrome film, and whose thoughts and dreams would be preserved between the timeless blue lines of the modern school exercise book.The book is built around six imaginative worlds – the worlds of amateur journalism, bird loving, war and adventure, dolls, the future, and monsters and fairies. It brings these worlds, and the voices of children, to life, exploring an incredible array of children’s artefacts and seeing the social history of Australia through a new lens.’In this brilliant study, Emily Gallagher reveals childhood imagination and play as at once traditional and modern, conservative and forward-looking – a realm of joy, fantasy and fear entangled with the adult world, yet a kingdom that children also claim as their own.Playtimeis a book of striking richness, originality and creativity that will change your understanding of the possibilities of Australian social history.’ —Frank Bongiorno, author ofDreamers and Schemers’Beautifully written,Playtimeis an innovative history of children’s imaginative play that takes children seriously in their own right and on their own terms.’ —Hannah Forsyth, author ofVirtue Capitalists’A joy to read, this landmark study demonstrates the significance of children’s creative play, restive imaginations and slumbered dreamworlds. Emily Gallagher has written an instant classic of Australian history, according her young protagonists a central place in the national narrative …Playtimeshowcases a treasure trove of sources to tell vital stories about social relations, change and continuity.’ —Simon Sleight, author ofYoung People and the Shaping of Public Space in Melbourne, 1870–1914
