##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
This study examines Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy through the
lens of childhood, masculinity, and social healing in Victorian society. The novel
presents seven-year-old Cedric Errol as a transformative figure whose innocence,
kindness, and moral integrity enable him to address the social and ethical failures of
the British aristocracy.
