Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 67: January-June, 1850 Ir the year 1848 ms nun or monmoxs was one pro-eminent among all others for the magnitude and interest of the events it brought forth, the year which has just expired - mn mu or reaction - is still more worthy of serious re ection, and a 'ords subjects for more cheeriu meditation. If the first exhibits the whirlwind of anarchy let loose, the second showed the power by which it is restrained; if the former filled every heart with dread at the fierce passions which were developed, and the portentous events which occurred in the world, the latter atl'orded reason for profound thank fulness, at the silent but irresistible force with which Omnipotence over rules the wickedness of men, and re strains the madness of the people.

How is academia portrayed in children's literature? This Element ambitiously surveys fictional professors in texts marketed towards children. Professors are overwhelmingly white and male, tending to be elderly scientists who fall into three stereotypes: the vehicle to explain scientific facts, the baffled genius, and the evil madman. By the late twentieth century, the stereotype of the male, mad, muddlehead, called Professor SomethingDumb, is formed in humorous yet pejorative fashion. This Element provides a publishing history of the role of academics in children's literature, questioning the book culture which promotes the enforcement of stereotypes regarding intellectual expertise in children's media. The Element is also available, with additional material, as Open Access.
