General Introduction: Reading, Writing, and Creating Communities in Children’s Periodicals
Abstrak
This extensive research-led introduction discusses the dominant concerns informing the development of the periodical genre for children, which is characterised by a tension between didacticism and enjoyment and how it responds to changing ideas about children and childhood. It then turns to the methodological and definitional challenges of examining children’s periodicals over two centuries and across a wide geographical range. It explores how the sheer volume of magazines and their ephemerality pose significant problems for the contemporary researcher while also reflecting on the periodical features of these texts that are significant for young readers. It also discusses how shifts in form and content require scholars to develop an expansive definition of the children’s periodical. Finally, it discusses the scope and structure of the volume and consider how it can contribute to further scholarship in the field.
