Critical History of French Children's literature, vol. 2, Coming of Age (1830-present day)

我的两卷本法国儿童文学批评史将是第一次用英语进行全面研究。第一卷(已完成)探讨了17世纪的开端(礼仪书籍、寓言和童话)、主导18世纪的教学和娱乐的双重要求以及法国大革命的影响。第二卷(当前项目)评估了从1830年到现在的儿童书籍的黄金时代，包括冒险小说和国内现实主义小说，专业出版社(Hetzel和Hachette)的发展，20世纪的创新和英语书籍的影响。

My two-volume critical history of French children's literature will be the first comprehensive study in English. Volume 1 (completed) explores the seventeenth-century beginnings (courtesy books, fables, and fairy tales), the twin imperatives of instruction and amusement dominating the eighteenth century and the impact of the French Revolution. The second volume (current project) assesses the golden age of children's books from 1830 to the present day, including novels of adventure and domestic realism, the growth of specialist publishing houses (Hetzel and Hachette), twentieth-century innovations and the influence of English books.
