Childhood/innocence: summary

[David J. Galloway]

Dear Seelangers:

Deep, deep appreciation for your responses on this.  I am posting to the
list because I've never received so many suggestions following a query (56),
not to mention requests for a summary (43).  That alone indicates that many
of you would find this useful, so I apologize for not mailing this out
individually--I was completely swamped.

Thanks also to those who found the topic interesting and offered words of
encouragement--I can only hope that the students respond as enthusiastically
as you all have.  Sometime in the fall I will send (to those who have
requested it) a concrete syllabus from the course.

So, here is the summary of suggestions of works on childhood/loss of
innocence.  If you have even more suggestions, I for one would still welcome
them.  But this list is quite hefty enough to get started (apologies in
advance for typos/errors--it was quickly assembled and sorted
automatically):
