Despite the range of children's periodicals that exist, they have not been studied to the same extent as children's literature. \u003ci\u003eThe Edinburgh History of Children's Periodicals\u003c\/i\u003e marks the first major history of magazines for young people from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. Bringing together periodicals from Britain, Ireland, North America, Australia, New Zealand and India, this book explores the roles of gender, race and national identity in the construction of children as readers and writers. It provides new insights both into how child readers shaped the magazines they read and how magazines have encouraged children to view themselves as political and world subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristine Moruzi is Associate Professor in the School of Communications and Creative Arts at Deakin University.
