| Synopsis: |
This is the first volume on children's literature criticism designed specifically for graduate students and researchers, as well as advanced undergraduates. It reviews and analyses the major theoretical questions and issues in the field, but then goes on to propose entirely new approaches to key topics such as authorship, the 'reader in the text', readership, history, ideology, intertextuality, national identity and childhood. Informed by the most recent debates on theoretical problems, this volume is ideal not just for students researching in children's literature itself, but for all researchers seeking to understand the implications of theoretical positions and assumptions for literature and cultural studies in general. The collection features a line-up of eminent contributors, including J Hillis Miller, Jacqueline Lazu, Stephen Thomson and Christine Sutphin, and discusses a wide range of texts, from Harry Potter and the works of Philip Pullman, to Arthur Ransom's Swallows and Amazons and the Swiss Family Robinson. |
