Beschreibungen/Notizen
Public school hymnals could voice class privilege, middle-class hymnals could urge the status quo, and working-class hymnals could stress future rewards in heaven while urging a blameless life on earth. Clapp-Itnyre's fourth chapter, "Staging the Child: Agency and Stasis for Children in Art and Hymn-Book Illustrations," considers how the occasional illustrations in hymn books participate in the artistic movements of their day, specifically the "illustration movement" in the 1860s and the children's illustrated picture book beginning with Randolph Caldecott, Kate Greenaway, and Walter Crane in the 1870s. Clapp-Itnyre convincingly shows how, in a century of social reform movements aimed at improving children's conditions, those children were themselves engaged in hymn-singing societies that worked to improve conditions for adults as well, including not only missionary societies but also "Bands of Hope" to encourage temperance and "Bands of Mercy" to prevent cruelty to animals.
