Between 1910 and 1949 a number of British publishers, writers, and illustrators included children's literature in their efforts to make Britain a progressive, egalitarian, and modern society. Some came from privileged backgrounds, others from the poorest parts of the poorest cities in the land; some belonged to the metropolitan intelligentsia or bohemia, others were working-class autodidacts, but all sought to use writing for children and young people to create activists, visionaries, and leaders among the rising generation.Together they produced a significant number of both politically and aesthetically radical publications for children and young people. This 'radical children's literature' was designed to ignite and underpin the work of making a new Britain for a new kind of Briton. While there are many dedicated studies of children's literature and children's' writers working in other periods, the years 1910-1949 have previous received little critical attention. In this study, Kimberley Reynolds shows that the accepted characterization of inter-war children's literature as retreatist, anti-modernist, and apolitical is too sweeping and that the relationship between children's literature and modernism, left-wing politics, and progressive education has been neglected."--Book jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-248) and index. 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Children's literature $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Children $x History $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117013135.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304032302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76DA998AB85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
