Images of Youth demonstrates the significance, long underestimated, of the male adolescent in British society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Dr Hendrick's carefully researched and thorough study illuminates such major issues as poverty, unemployment, race, class conflict, industrial unrest, and the nature of democracy. Drawing in a further dimension, he charts the development of child and adolescent psychology and its contribution to the definition and perpetuation of the youth problem. He argues that the images of youth forged in this period had important and far-reaching consequences for age and class relations. Today the study of youth is of major importance; this book provides us with a comprehensive picture of its beginnings.

Review
`important contribution to our understanding of this pivotal period of modern history and a good example of how historical interpretation is enriched by sociological understanding. His [Harry Hendrick] will be a hard act to follow for anyone going over this ground. ' The Sociological Review
`historians of youth will find much in the contextual method of the book that can fruitfully be applied to the study of age relations in other historial and social settings' Janet Howarth, St Hilda's College, Oxford, 20 Century British History, Vol.1, No.3, 1990
`The book succeeds admirably in tracing interconnections between urban working-class youth and contemporary debates on poverty ... it presents the fullest and subtlest investigation of the boy labor problem ... convincingly amends the existing account of the discovery of adolescence.' American Historical Review
`a useful monograph, which has a broader interest and significance than the title suggests.' History Today
`a work of genuine scholarship, detailed and meticulously researched. Yet it is never less than accessible and will as a consequence appeal as much to the general reader interested in the development of youth work and policy in Britain as to the historian.' Youth and Policy
'sensitive and well researched monograph' Janet Howarth, St Hilda's College, Oxford, 20th Century British History, Vol.1, No.3, 1990
`Images of Youth is a valuable addition to the literature on the social and historical construction of childhood and adolescence.' Sociology
`The Edwardians produced a copious literature on the `boy labour' problem, and it provides the bedrock for Harry Hendrick's argument that the period saw the emergence of new images of male youth ... Hendrick surveys this literature thoroughly and efficiently, and successfully locks the debates on boy labour into the wider concerns of the early twentieth century.' Labour History Review
`subtle and perceptive study ... carefully researched monograph' Social History Society Newsletter
