Abstract

Variously a teacher, clergyman and town mayor, William Fordyce Mavor (1758-1837) wrote prolifically on a range of literary, historical and educational topics. This work, first published in 1801 and reissued here in a corrected and improved edition of 1843, is Mavor's most famous. Intended to 'sow the seeds of useful learning', it is both a reading primer and a compendium of general knowledge. Beginning with the alphabet, with each letter illustrated by the delightful wood engravings of Thomas Bewick, the book presents vocabulary of increasing complexity together with simple and amusing stories for reading practice, as well as guidance on spelling and grammar. General knowledge is addressed through sections on such topics as weights and measures, geography, key dates in history, and the solar system. It ran to 500 editions, had sold more than 2 million copies by 1823, and was translated into Hindi and French.

Abstract

(Re)Imagining the world: Children’s Literature’s Response to Changing Times considers how writers of fiction for children imagine ‘the world’, not one universal world, but different worlds: imaginary, strange, familiar, even monstrous worlds. The chapters in this collection discuss how fiction for children engages with some of the changes brought about by new technologies, information literacy, consumerism, migration, politics, different family structures, cosmopolitanism, and new and old monsters. They also invite us to think about how memory shapes our understanding of the past, and how fiction engages our emotions, our capacity to empathize, our desire to discover, and what the future may hold. The contributors bring different perspectives from education, postcolonial studies, literary criticism, cultural studies, childhood studies, postmodernism, and the social sciences. With a wide coverage of texts from different countries, and scholarly and lively discussions, this collection is itself a testament to the power of the human imagination and the significance of children’s literature in the education of young people.

Abstract

David Small groeit op in een gezin waarin iedereen een eigen taal spreekt: zijn moeder zucht voortdurend en slaat de keukenkastjes hard dicht, zijn oudste broer drumt, zijn vader slaat op een boksbal. Onuitgesproken geweld vormt een belangrijk deel in de opvoeding van de jonge David.In Stitches vertelt hij op aangrijpende wijze over hoe de terreur in huis met de jaren alleen maar toeneemt. Zelfs zijn oma, een tragische vrouw die religie en noodlot op hardhandige wijze met elkaar verknoopt, verspilt geen overbodige liefde aan de jongen.Het is haast ondraaglijk om toe te moeten zien hoe wreed mensen ? ouders en kinderen in dit geval ? met elkaar omgaan, wat een kind moet doorstaan: als Small tien jaar is, groeit er een cyste in zijn nek, maar zijn ouders zijn te gepreoccupeerd met zichzelf om er aandacht aan te besteden, hoewel vrienden van de familie hen smeken ernaar te laten kijken. Pas op zijn veertiende ondergaat David een operatie en blijkt het om een kankergezwel te gaan. Een tweede, zware operatie laat hem zonder stem en ook fysiek gehandicapt achter.Onsentimenteel en onbarmhartig wordt het verhaal kaler en kaler, de pagina's leger en leger. Er valt niets meer te zeggen omdat David niets meer zeggen kán.De intensiteit van deze graphic novel is vergelijkbaar met een innerlijke schreeuw, de evocatie van een universele nachtmerrie die zelfs overdag niet verdwijnt?Lees dit boek, huil en zie hoe een ware kunstenaar zijn verdriet en pijn omzet in de ultieme wraak: kunst.
