DLB 52: American Writers for Children Since 1960, Fiction
The period of fiction writing covered in DLB Volume 52 is marked by an abundance of significant creative and innovative writing for children. Childrens authors began to take the position that writing for children should reflect and portray the cultural diversity and social upheaval of the time. Many childrens books written during this period provoked widespread censorship and counter-censorship activities because they openly and honestly reflected the social and moral issues that affected society during the 1960s and 1970s.
44 entries include: Judy Blume, Robert Burch, Betsy Byars, Beverly Cleary Robert Cormier, Meindert DeJong, Madeleine LEngle, Lois Lowry, Scott ODell and Isaac Bashevis Singer.
