Description

Explore the historical roots of children's publishing with The Children's Book Business by Lissa Paul. Published by Routledge, this work offers a fresh look at book biography by examining how late eighteenth-century attitudes shape modern views on reading and knowledge. Through a detailed study of Eliza Fenwick's 1805 novel, Visits to the Juvenile Library, and Marjorie Moon's 1990 bibliography, Benjamin Tabart's Juvenile Library, Paul connects the past to the present. The text examines how the thinking children of the Enlightenment serve as models for today's technologically-connected and socially-conscious youth. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in children's literature and culture. It provides deep insight into how publishing traditions and cultural sensibilities have evolved over centuries, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or collection focused on literary history and criticism.
