The authors explore how Victorian society shaped the understanding of adolescence, establishing a framework that persisted into the twentieth century. They contrast this with post-World War II views, which depict adolescence as a tumultuous phase characterized by "storm and stress." By examining these differing perspectives, the study highlights the evolution of societal attitudes toward youth and the implications for understanding adolescent development across different historical contexts.
