Offered To Children: A History Of Australian Children's Literature 1841-1941

Maurice Saxby

4.9/5 (34963 ratings)

Description:Before the first children's book was written and published in the Colony of New South Wales in 1841, writers for children in Britain, France and Germany, in particular, were intrigued by that remote part of the globe. Then from 1841, from Australia itself, as well as from overseas, came full-blooded tales of shipwreck and massacre, as well as stories of a hostile but exciting continent - a land of opportunity for stalwart young emigrants and settlers. Maurice Saxby first published his seminal history of the development of this literature in 1969, which has long been out of print and has become a collector's item. But since Saxby's initial research a great body of literature, that had been held largely in private collections, has been made public. So this is a complete rewrite in light of that material.In keeping with more recent literary approaches, the book is now genre-based as well as chronological, and is an exhaustive analytical coverage of a fascinating literature that highlights developing social and educational attitudes world-wide.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
