A collection of essays based on the Children's Books History
Society study conference marking the bicentenary of the Religious
Tract Society and the Lutterworth Press. The book analyses the
children's literature it produced, charting the development of the
genre from the evangelical tract through to the popular school
story, spanning the period from the late eighteenth to the
mid-twentieth centuries. It shows how publishing worked within the
context of a missionary society with a global reach. The book
details the nature and development of the tract genre both in
Britain and America, before looking at the range of RTS and
Lutterworth output of children's titles, including its movement
into magazine publishing. The work studies the two great magazines
for which the RTS and Lutterworth were known to generations of
children, the Boy's Own Paper and the Girl's Own Paper, as well as
other magazines, such The Child's Companion. There are also
chapters on popular tracts, such as The Dairyman's Daughter, and
successful authors, from Hesba Stretton and Mrs Walton to W.E.
Johns and Laura Ingalls Wilder. These essays explore how, in order
to reflect an increasingly secular age, the subject matter widened,
providing more non-fiction in its periodicals as well as an
increasingly broad range of fiction, mostly secular in nature. It
was also necessary for the Society to alter its didactically
religious tone in order to present its Christian values with more
subtlety. With chapters on subjects as diverse as American
religious tracts, boy's school stories, secular publishing for
girls and the presentation of gender roles, this collection is a
major contribution to publishing history in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Contributors include Brian Alderson, Mary
Cadogan, Aileen Fyfe and Anne Thwaite.
