David Rudd takes a lively and controversial look at the critical
representation of the child in children's literature, arguing for a
more open and eclectic approach: one that celebrates the diverse
power, appeal and possibilities of children's literature. Drawing
on psychoanalytically informed perspectives, Rudd shows how theory
can be both exciting and liberating. He offers fresh and
stimulating close readings of key texts, ranging from established
classics - such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and
Winnie-the-Pooh - to more modern works, including novels (Peter Pan
in Scarlet and The Children's Book) and picture books (Zoo, The
Missing Piece and Where the Wild Things Are). Sophisticated yet
highly approachable, this is an essential read for anyone with an
interest in the study of children's literature.
