Left Out presents an alternative and corrective history of writing
for children in the first half of the twentieth century. Between
1910 and 1949 a number of British publishers, writers, and
illustrators included children's literature in their efforts to
make Britain a progressive, egalitarian, and modern society. Some
came from privileged backgrounds, others from the poorest parts of
the poorest cities in the land; some belonged to the metropolitan
intelligentsia or bohemia, others were working-class autodidacts,
but all sought to use writing for children and young people to
create activists, visionaries, and leaders among the rising
generation.Together they produced a significant number of both
politically and aesthetically radical publications for children and
young people. This 'radical children's literature' was designed to
ignite and underpin the work of making a new Britain for a new kind
of Briton. While there are many dedicated studies of children's
literature and childrens' writers working in other periods, the
years 1910-1949 have previous received little critical attention.
In this study, Kimberley Reynolds shows that the accepted
characterisation of inter-war children's literature as retreatist,
anti-modernist, and apolitical is too sweeping and that the
relationship between children's literature and modernism, left-wing
politics, and progressive education has been neglected.
