Tracing the emergence of different reading audiences, this groundbreaking study explores why some books originally written for a mixed-age readership eventually became children's literature, while others became adult novels. Spanning the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it discusses authors including Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, Charles Dickens and Henry James.
