Question

why were children prevented from reading novels explain with three valid reasons

Answer 1

Children were prevented from reading novels because

1. Novels dealt with various social, political and economic issues which, it was felt, children would not be mature enough to appreciate. For example, the novels of Charles Dickens dealt with life of the working class of the industrial revolution. These were issues that might have been too difficult for children to understand..

2. Novels also dealt with adult themes like love and marriage. It was felt that being exposed to such issues from a young age would have a corrupting influence on children.

3. It was also felt that reading novels would take up too much time of children thereby hampering their regular school studies
