Description

Explore the evolution of British children's literature during its widely recognized second golden age. In this book, Lucy Pearson provides a lively and engaging look at the 1960s and 1970s, a period that transformed how stories for young readers were created and understood. By drawing extensively on archival material, the text investigates the practical and ideological factors that shaped the concept of good children's literature in Britain. It focuses specifically on the role of children's book publishing and how it influenced the industry. Pearson begins with a critical overview of the discourse surrounding the genre, summarizing the main critical debates of the era. This work places these literary shifts within the context of the broader social conversations happening around children during these decades. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of publishing, literary criticism, and the social history of childhood.
