Greenwood Press, Westport, first edition, 1980. Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm,. L, 540 pp, plates. From the introduction: "The purpose of this work is to provide a single, annotated chronological listing of significant or representative books written for or used with or appropriated by British and American children from the sixth century to 1945. The chronology is divided into six time segments: Anglo-Saxon, ca. 523-1099; Middle English, 1100-1499; Renaissance to the Restoration, 1500-1659; Restoration to American Independence, 1660-1799; Nineteenth Century, 1800-1899; and the first part of the Twentieth Century, 1900-1945...Each time period is introduced by a description of the historical background, the development of books, and attitudes toward and treatment of children in an attempt to provide a context for the annotations that follow. Additional features of this volume include a bibliography of secondary sources; chronologies of British and American children's periodicals; a key to book collections in Britain, Canada, and the United States that house books by certain authors included in the chronology; a list of facsimile editions with a key to the publishers; a name index to authors, illustrators, translators, and early publishers and printers; and an index to approximately 9,700 titles included in the work. .. It will be noted that from the beginnings to ca. 1850, entries in the chronology are mainly "lesson book" manuscripts, books of manners and morals, religious tracts, textbooks, translations from foreign languages - particularly Latin, French, German, and Spanish - and books intended for adults but appropriated by children. Entries from 1850 to 1945 are generally children's "trade" publications - books and periodicals intended for enjoyment. ..Each of the 735 main entries in the chronology includes date of publication, author if known (and/or editor, illustrator, translator), title, publisher or printer, and a brief annotation. While each annotation describes the book's contents, for some of the early entries the book's use is pointed out; often little-known facts about the book, author, or publisher are provided. Additional works by an author, along with the publisher or printer and dates of publication, if known, are included, so that one main entry may list multiple titles.
