| Description: |
Children's literature came into existence in printed form in the 18th century. This book charts its development by examining concurrent developments in society such as the spread of education, the developments in printing techniques and changes in the definition of childhood. |
| Synopsis: |
Children's literature is increasingly exposed to critical debate in England and America. There are indeed a number of histories and surveys of children's literature, but few works exist which discuss the contexts, ideologies and narrative structures of children's stories in a serious and detailed manner, or examine particular case-histories to see how the different forces interact. This is what this collection of essays attempts to do. The topics range from Little Women to Winnie the Pooh and from story forms such as 'The Adventure Story' to 'Fantasy'. |
