This book reveals how the period’s transforming identities affected by social, economic, religious, and national energies offers rich opportunities in which to analyze the relationship between identity and transformation. At the heart of this study is this question: what is the relationship between Victorian children’s literature, its readers, and their psychic development? Ruth Y. Jenkins uses Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection to uncover the presence of cultural anxieties and social tensions in works by Kingsley, MacDonald, Carroll, Stevenson, Burnett, Ballantyne, Nesbit, Tucker, Sewell, and Rossetti. .

"Marketing literature" is a timely, original and important study of the publishing of contemporary writing in Britain. It analyses the changing social, economic and cultural environment of the publishing industry in the 1990s-2000s, and investigates its impact on genre, format, packaging, authorship and reading. This innovative work includes case studies of Irvin Welsh's Trainspotting, Louis de Bernières's Captain Corelli's mandolin, Arundhati Roy's The God of small things and David Mitchell's Cloud atlas, and significantly extends our understanding of the circulation of literary fiction in a period of notable change.

Some forty essays on children's books from the vast wealth of material published in books and journals during the nineteenth century. The essays have been chosen to illustrate trends and developments in the field as seen by critics of the time, and as examples of revealing contemporary comment on books, writers and artists of the day. The contributors range from eminent literary figures, such as Thackeray and Conrad, to more obscure authors whose views deserve revival. Some of the essays are well-known but not easily accessible, among them Ruskin on Kate Greenaway and Dickens on fairy stories. The essays cover the full range of children's books, from fairy tales to poetry and from illustration to adventure stories. And essays on whether children need a special literature at all, and on the art of writing for children, indicate that the preoccupations of critics of our day were shared by their nineteenth century predecessors.

Introducing Children's Literature is an ideal guide to reading children's literature through the perspective of literary history. Focusing on the major literary movements from Romanticism to Postmodernism, Thacker and Webb examine the concerns of each period and the ways in which these concerns influence and are influenced by the children's literature of the time. Each section begins with a general chapter, which explains the relationship between the major issues of each literary period and the formal and thematic qualities of children's texts.
