TY - JOUR A1 - Heywood, Sophie T1 - The publishers’ spring? May ’68 and the 'radical revolution' in French children’s books T2 - Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung : GKJF N2 - The years around May ’68 (c. 1965 – c. late-1970s) are widely understood to represent a watershed moment for children’s books in France. An important factor was the influence of a new fringe of avant-garde publishers that attracted attention across their trade in and beyond France. Using archives and interviews and accounts of some of the books produced and their reception, this article presents case studies of the most influential publishing houses as a series of three snapshots of the areas of movement in the field. At the same time, it evaluates the extent to which the social, cultural and political upheavals in France in the wake of May ’68 helped to alter the shape of book production for children and to bring about a ›radical revolution‹ in the children’s publishing trade.
