Summary/Abstract: The author of this article discusses the ways in which the authors of the history of literature textbooks from the years 1918 to 1939 attempted, by means of the didactic framework, to make students interested in the readings and to steer their reception. This was to improve teenagers’ engagement with literary works. For this purpose, the author examines selected school books, analysing the content of their didactic framework from her point of interest. The paper concludes with a summary that points out the weaknesses and strengths of the methods identified in the textbooks, which were adopted to make students interested in reading and to control their reception of it.
