(Excerpted from History section)

The history of young adult literature is tied to the history of how childhood and young adulthood has been perceived. One early writer to recognize young adults as a distinct group was Sarah Trimmer, who, in 1802, described "young adulthood" as lasting from ages 14 to 21. In her children's literature periodical, The Guardian of Education, Trimmer introduced the terms "Books for Children" (for those under fourteen) and "Books for Young Persons" (for those between fourteen and twenty-one), establishing terms of reference for young adult literature that still remain in use.

My draft edits: Psychologist G. Stanley Hall also published a book titled Adolescence, in 1904, which described young adulthood as a time period of physical and psychological change in adolescent youth. Many of the themes established in his work shaped the way young adult literature portrayed adolescence.
