Profile
I am a PhD researcher at University of Reading, and I am using archival material primarily but not exclusively from the British Publishing Archive held in Reading’s Special Collections. My research investigates the development of mid-twentieth century children’s literature by focusing on a group of women involved in all aspects of children’s publishing during this period. I am interested in exploring the influence of booksellers, both in terms of the impact they had on editorial decision-making, and the insights they could offer into the reading habits and choices of their customers, both child and adult.
