Abstract

Children's literature takes many forms - works adapted for children in antiquity, picture books and pop-ups - and now includes the latest online games and eBooks. This vast and amorphous subject is both intimately related to other areas of literary and cultural investigation but also has its own set of concerns, issues and challenges. From familiar authors including Beatrix Potter and Roald Dahl, classic books such as Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, and The Secret Garden, to modern works including Harry Potter and the Twilight series, thisVery Short Introduction provides an overview of the history.

Abstract

This is the story of children's books and the people who have made them in the second half of the twentieth century. A 'Cinderella' story, it plots changes in the perception of children's books, and the editors, writers and illustrators who make them, from non-entities to valued assets. Whether or not this is a happy ending remains to be seen, but the story is one that needs to be told. This original study meets an urgent need to locate and preserve fast-disappearing information about children's book publishing. Much of it makes use of the words and memories of the people who have been bringing children and books together for nearly half a century. Some surprising facts and trends come to light - for instance, the opportunities for women this field afforded and the substantial profits it generated for the publishing houses which have rarely given their children's lists public recognition or status. This entertaining book recalls anecdotes, personalities and attitudes from the last fifty years, and relates them to key events and changes in perceptions of childhood - from the post-war days of CND and fears that there would be no future for children to equally apocalyptic responses to AIDS and the changing environment.

Abstract

Modern children's literature is currently receiving much public and critical attention. Organized to show developments in children's literature over time and across genres, this introductory guide looks at key British, American and Australian works, from picture books and texts for younger children, through to graphic novels and young adult fiction. Each chapter applies specific critical approaches, supported by explanatory boxed material and suggestions for further reading. The second edition of this established, classic text has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded to reflect current issues in the field. It features new chapters by leading names on key topics such as canon formation, psychoanalytic approaches, fantasy, and technology, and includes an essay on children's poetry by the former Children's Laureate, Michael Rosen.
