Summary Essays on authors of children's literature during a time in history when there was a growth of genres and styles, as well as theories on child raising and education, and on books written for children. These divergent trends find expression in works published for children during this time period. A period that also marked the entry of many women into the field of children's literature, as well as a period when publishing became a viable economic enterprise
Notes "A Bruccoli Clark Layman book."
