Changing Perspectives: The Implied Reader in Australian Children's Literature, 1841-1994.
Saxby, Maurice
Children's Literature in Education, v26 n1 p25-38 Mar 1995
Looks back at 150 years of writing for children in Australia through the illumination cast by Wolfgang Iser's notion of "the implied reader." Suggests that the implied reader in 1841 was of the educated elite; by 1941 the reader was more likely to be middle-class with popular tastes and interests; and the reader of 1991 reflected a pluralistic society.
