  abstract: By the middle 1800s, toys were appearing in forms that drew upon and that inspired advances in areas such as optics, biology, geography, transportation and automation. In these decades, too, a new type of wonder tale was being brought to maturity by a Poe-inspired Jules Verne. The modern wonder tale's highly-charged vision expressed the hopes and the fears, and the delights and the traumas, engendered by "new worlds idealism," that Western pursuit of both mechanical and geographical conquest. Exploring realms belonging to childhood, literature, science and history, this innovative study weaves together the histories of wonder tales and children's toys, focusing specifically on their modern aspects and how they reflect and express the social attitudes of that time period beginning around 1859 and ending around 1957.
