The Routledge Companion to Children's Literature Zusammenfassung

The Routledge Companion to Children's Literature David Rudd (University of Bolton, UK)

The Routledge Companion to Children's Literature is a vibrant and authoritative exploration of children's literature in all its manifestations. It features a series of essays written by expert contributors who provide an illuminating examination of why children's literature is the way it is. Topics covered include:

the history and development of children's literature
various theoretical approaches used to explore the texts, including narratological methods
questions of gender and sexuality along with issues of race and ethnicity
realism and fantasy as two prevailing modes of story-telling
picture books, comics and graphic novels as well as 'young adult' fiction and the 'crossover' novel
media adaptations and neglected areas of children's literature.

The Routledge Companion to Children's Literature contains suggestions for further reading throughout plus a helpful timeline and a substantial glossary of key terms and names, both established and more cutting-edge. This is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to an increasingly complex and popular discipline.
