| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Young-adult fiction first received classification in the 1950s, but authors had long been writing for the teenage crowd. Many stories of adventure, heartbreak and personal triumph had been considered classics for the young-adult crowd for over a century. This book looks at the evolution of young-adult fiction as its own genre and the beloved books involved in the process. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
