Title
Children's Books in England: Five Centuries of Social Life,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
'Not a collection of queer facts or antiquarian scraps' said Harvey Darton of his book when it was first published in 1932, but 'a chronicle of the English people in their capacity of parents, guardians and educators of children'. Certainly, literature albeit a 'minor literature' was his central theme, but through it he wove biography and the facts of social and commercial history, the 'human aspect'; and when Children's Books in England was published it proved to be a work whose insights and authority transformed our understanding of its subject.. "In preparing this new edition, therefore, the publishers have been at pains to provide a text that will sustain Darton's reputation for a new generation of readers. The editor, Brian Alderson, has checked the multitude of small details in the book in an effort to ensure that they are accurate by the standards of modern scholarship; he has added a number of bibliographical notes; and, in a supplementary chapter, he has filled out the discussion of children's books during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, which formed a natural endpoint to Harvey Darton's history. In addition, more than sixty new illustrations have been added, in order to expand upon facts and arguments put forward in the text.
