Osher Online: Children’s Literature – The Development of a Genre   

Trace the evolution of literature specifically written for children - from its earliest forms to the modern era. Begin with the oral traditions that underpin all storytelling, then follow the shift toward published works created specifically with young readers in mind. Survey key moments and turning points that shaped the growth of children’s literature as a distinct field. Conclude by analyzing how a well-known children’s literature has evolved over time.
