Pearson states that this is evident in the pay and visibility of writers and illustrators, and in the position children’s literature occupies in the publishing industry (2013). It is with this that the genre is popular worldwide, and has a great influence in the way in which it entertains and educates for parents and children alike. According to Grenby, “children’s literature, as we recognise it today, began in the mid eighteenth century and took hold first in Britain” (4). Before this, there was no specific genre for children as “childhood and adolescence were conceived not as independent living sections,” (trans. Ewers) Jean Jaques Rousseau’s manifesto, Emilie ou sur l’education helped change this as he recognised childhood as “a highly independent form of human existence, separate from adulthood (trans. Ewers). Rousseau’s work supported the “starting point of a radical reform of children’s literature,” (trans. Ewers). This type of literature has been used to educate and entertain children, nurturing their ideals and supporting their construction of identity. Download 420.42 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
