Appendix to the 18th edition of Children's Readings

We are glad to announce the Appendix to the 18th edition of Children's Readings. It contains critical articles not included in the Archive Block, prepared by Sergei Ushakin (see Children's Readings. 2020. No. 2 (18) pp. 9-122.). All articles are devoted to one or another aspect of Russian poetry for children; the earliest article is dated 1898, the latest – 1937.

The published collection of reviews, reviews, and pamphlets is interesting material on the history of critical reflection of teachers and literary critics about children's literature. To a certain extent, these articles show how the principles and methods of literary and social analysis of children's poetry took shape in Russia from the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries to the end of the 1930s.
