The first chapter is a genealogy of the magazine founders, their work promoting Americanism and literacy in the early 20th century, and their creation of the publication. Chapter two explores the moral development goals of the magazine, the emphasis on turning children into good citizens, and the juxtaposition of adult-created content within child-centered spaces. Chapter three is a review of the relevant scholarship of childhood studies. Chapter four is an analysis of the changing landscape of children’s literature, as seen through Highlights for Children when placed in its historical and social context. Chapter five features three critical snapshots of additional research on Highlights. Overall the dissertation examines historical contexts of American childhood inside and outside of the magazine, and how that has influenced the production of children’s literature during 20th century American history. 2018-11-07 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1525739600491858 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1525739600491858 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
