The book explores how Victorian society shaped the understanding of adolescence, establishing a framework that persisted into the twentieth century. Ferrall and Jackson contend that this Victorian concept contrasts sharply with the post-World War II view of adolescence as a tumultuous phase characterized by "storm and stress." Through their analysis, they highlight the evolution of societal perceptions of youth and the implications for contemporary understandings of this developmental stage.
