That is a revisionist YA history and appropriated booklist with the goal of adding more legitimacy to the genres. YA emerged in the latter half of the 20th century, as summarized fairly well in that Wikipedia article.
- falcolas 6y agoRevisionist... Appropriation... Those words, when used like this, are fantastic at shutting down a discussion without putting any real effort into the discussion. And so, I'll merely wish you a good day.
