The Republic and Its Children: French Children's Literature, 1855--1900
Abstract
dc:descriptionBy 1870, specialized publishers produced significant numbers of children's books which made their way into the majority of middle-class French homes. Significantly, as a result of the traumatic events of 1870-1871 -- military defeat by Prussia and the Paris Commune -- when the nation of France suffered military, political, and moral crises, the content of children's literature changed markedly; it became increasingly propagandistic, militaristic and nationalistic, and revanchiste. These elements thus combined with more democratic republican values to create the whole heritage of nineteenth-century French republican political culture.
