Thus there are discussions both of literature specifically written for adolescents and the literature adolescents choose to read. The term adolescent is understood to include young people in grades five or six through ten or eleven. The articles are written by high school, college, and university teachers and discuss adolescent literature in general (e.g., Geraldine E. LaRoque's "A Bright and Promising Future for Adolescent Literature"), particular types of this literature (e.g., Nicholas J. Karolides' "Focus on Black Adolescents"), and particular books, (e.g., Beverly Haley's "'The Pigman'- -Use It1"). Also included is an extensive list of current books and articles on adolescent literature, adolescents' reading interests, and how these books relate to the teaching of English..The bibliography is divided into (1) general bibliographies,(2) histories and criticism of adolescent literature, CO dime novels, (4) adolescent literature before 1940, (5) reading interest studies, (6) modern adolescent literature, (7) adolescent books in the schools, and (8) comments about young people's reading.

Ltd., Printers, West Norwood, S.E. 27. PREFACE Many years ago I compiled a comparatively short list of sequel stories for staff reference purposes, and the list was subsequently published in The Library World (1900-1). Several librarians who found the old list useful have asked me at various times to bring it up-to-date, and I have at last found leisure to accede to the request and to add a large number of stories not listed in the original list. In order to serve useful purposes I have included (a) Stories in which the same character appears in more than one book ; (h) Series forming a continuous narrative of events ; (c) Trilogies and the like ; (d) A few other notes. The material has been drawn from very many sources, some being of doubtful reliability, and in the absence of other data has had to be used without confirmation. It is probable that there are some errors of commission and, on account of the difficulty of obtaining information of sequence-stories, many more of omission. I should therefore be glad if corrections and notes of additions were sent to me direct. To keep down the cost of printing, initials only are given of fore-names ; dates of publication and names of publishers are omitted for the same season.

Paperback. Book Condition: New. 224 x 150 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was an American publisher and writer of books for children. He wrote 150 books himself, and created the most famous of the series books for juveniles, including the Rover Boys (1899 and after), Bobbsey Twins (1904), Tom Swift (1910), Hardy Boys (1927), and Nancy Drew (1930) series, among others. Stratemeyer pioneered the technique of producing long-running, consistent series of books using a team of freelance authors to write standardised novels, which were published under a pen name owned by his company. Through his Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded in 1906, Stratemeyer produced short plot summaries for the novels in each series, which he sent to other writers who completed the story. Stratemeyer s series were also innovative in that they were intended purely as entertainment, with little of the moral lessons or educational intent found in most other popular fiction of the early twentieth century. Stratemeyer s series included, besides the famous ones, many that are now forgotten except by collectors: The Motor Boys (1906), Honey Bunch (1923), The...

    Writers Walk Sign Locations Charles Eastman House (Lodestone) 850 Belcher Town Road (142 Harkness Road) Property Owner: Steve Ozcelik Notes: Although this is the historic entrance to the property, the sign could be placed off Harkness Road. Sign Location Charles (1858-1939) and Elaine Goodale (1863-1953) Eastman lived with their six children at Lodestone from 1911 to 1919, the period in which Charles published nine of his eleven books and Elaine published three of her seven books. Charles was born Santee Dakota and his books focus on his commitment to social justice for Native Americans. His biographies, Indian Boyhood (1902) and From the Deep Woods to Civilization: Chapters in the Autobiography of an Indian (1916), detail his flight from a Minnesota reservation to Canada after the Sioux uprising of 1862 and his studies at Dartmouth and Boston University, where he earned the M.D. that allowed him to provide medical care for victims of the Wounded Knee Massacre. There he met Goodale, a social worker and poet, who was Superintendent of Indian Education for the Two Dakotas. She collaborated with Charles on some of his works and independently produced her own poetry, novels, and memoirs.

  • Series Books: an Exploration of Middle School Students’ and Teachers’ Perceptions
    Series Books: An Exploration of Middle School Students’ and Teachers’ Perceptions Kari Jennifer Rakas A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION August 2009 Committee: Dr. Cindy Hendricks, Advisor Dr. Nancy Fordham Dr. John Sorg ii ABSTRACT Dr. Cindy Hendricks, Advisor Series books have been the favorites of young readers since the early 1900s. Since this time, series books have dominated the publishing industry and have created worldwide fervor over their characters, plots, and settings. These books have been the center of a great deal of controversy; many are quick to dismiss the value of series books, while others find great value between their covers. This study examined middle-grade students’ and teachers’ perceptions of series books. Students in fifth through eighth grades were surveyed, and select students (those who identified themselves as active readers of series books) were individually interviewed. Interviews with students focused on general reading habits as well as on student habits and beliefs regarding series books. The teachers of these students were also interviewed in an attempt to shed light on their perceptions of series reading and series readers. Data from student surveys, student interviews, and teacher interviews were collected and analyzed. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, my sincere thanks to Dr. Cindy Hendricks for her incredible guidance and support throughout this experience. My thanks extend to Dr. John Sorg and Dr. Nancy Fordham as well for their input and encouragement. Additionally, I’d like to thank Jake, my family, and the BGSU Reading Program GAs, all of whom kept me afloat during grad school.

Exhibits EXHIBITS of rare and unusual items from the University's collections are displayed in the Library on a continuing basis. Display areas are located on the fourth floor of the main library building, both in the lobby and in the Special Collections reading room. Exhibits are changed quarterly. Current Exhibit: "The Dime Novel in America, 1860-1925." The dime novel, though often lacking in literary quality, was perhaps the most purely American fiction ever developed. For a time, it caught and expressed the crude vitality of an expanding nation. To a great extent the dime novel created and popularized the romantic image of the American West. This exhibit traces the development of this colorful segment of American literature from its rise in 1860 to its demise in the 1920's, using original spec- imens from USF's extensive dime novel collection. The exhibit will be on display until March 14. Quarter III, 1979: "Of Plays & Players: Theater-related Items From Special Collections."

  • In Major American Girls' Fiction, 1900-1920
    ADULT READERS AND THE GROWING “NEW GIRL” IN MAJOR AMERICAN GIRLS’ FICTION, 1900-1920 by Rupayan Roy A thesis submitted to the Department of English Language and Literature In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2018) Copyright © Rupayan Roy, 2018 Abstract The early twentieth century was a time of high-profile commentary in the U.S. regarding new roles for women, the convention-defying “New Woman,” and adolescence in the context of girls’ lives. Girls’ fiction included family-oriented texts, as well as, to borrow from Nancy Tillman Romolav, “series books” that “did not attempt to woo the adult through their language, subject or pedagogical value . .” (90). This study explores major books (from both kinds of girls’ fiction, namely Wiggin’s Rebecca books and the Stratemeyer Syndicate’s Ruth Fielding series, along with, to a lesser extent, its first Dorothy Dale text) concerned with “New Girls” as they grow from their pre-teen/early-teen years to young womanhood; I examine whether differences relating to whether adult readership is sought affect how the books compare in terms of addressing adult-imposed impediments that the girls face. I argue that, underneath such differences, the books share the assumption that young-girl readers—as imagined by the texts—are not the right audience, or at least not the right primary audience, for a comprehensive look at the mixture of ageism and patriarchy. The books assume that outright dislodging adult-imposed limitations is beyond what young-girl readers can do. This assumption constitutes a unifying feature of major American coming-of-age “New Girl” fiction for girls of the time.
