Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 2: A Literary Magazine; April 1927 Before 1700 short articles had been written for children's read ing. Yet all these stories were didactic; they taught obedience to parents or correct behavior at church. Little Goody two-shoes by Oliver Goldsmith is an example of this kind of writing. Later, Rousseau was among the first to awaken an interest in children's literature by teaching less formal methods of schooling. Charles Lamb came next; it seems that he was the first to get the idea that literature for children should be just as artistic and just as worthy of literary recognition as literature for adults. For children or men was a favorite phrase of his; it may be well applied to his and his sister's prose version of Shakespeare's plays.
