Published in 1778 and 1779, the books initiated a revolution in <a href="/wiki/Children%27s_literature" title="Children's literature">children's literature</a> in the Anglo-American world. For the first time, the needs of the child reader were seriously considered: the typographically simple texts progress in difficulty as the child learns. In perhaps the first demonstration of experiential <a href="/wiki/Pedagogy" title="Pedagogy">pedagogy</a> in Anglo-American children's literature, Barbauld's books use a conversational style depicting a mother and her son discussing the natural world. Based on the educational theories of <a href="/wiki/John_Locke" title="John Locke">John Locke</a>, Barbauld's books emphasize learning through the senses. One of the primary morals of Barbauld's lessons is that individuals are part of a community; in this she was part of a tradition of female writing that emphasized the interconnectedness of society. Charles, the hero of the texts, explores his relationship to nature, to animals, to people, and finally to God. <i>Lessons</i> had a significant effect on the development of children's literature in Britain and America. <a href="/wiki/Maria_Edgeworth" title="Maria Edgeworth">Maria Edgeworth</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sarah_Trimmer" title="Sarah Trimmer">Sarah Trimmer</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jane_Taylor_(poet)" title="Jane Taylor (poet)">Jane Taylor</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ellenor_Fenn" title="Ellenor Fenn">Ellenor Fenn</a>, to name a few of the most illustrious, were inspired to become children's authors because of <i>Lessons</i> and their works dominated children's literature for several generations.
