WINNER OF THE 2007 CHLA BOOK AWARD
Children's literature has transcended linguistic and cultural
borders since books and magazines for young readers were first
produced, with popular books translated throughout the world.
Emer O'Sullivan traces the history of comparative children's
literature studies, from the enthusiastic internationalism of the
post-war period which set out from the idea of a supra-national
world republic of childhood to modern comparative criticism.
Drawing on the scholarship and children's literature of many
cultures and languages, she outlines the constituent areas that
structure the field, including contact and transfer studies,
intertextuality studies, intermediality studies and image studies.
In doing so, she provides the first comprehensive overview of this
exciting new research area. Comparative Children's Literature also
links the fields of narratology and translation studies, to develop
an original and highly valuable communicative model of
translation.
Taking in issues of children's 'classics', the canon and world
literature for children, Comparative Children's Literature reveals
that this branch of literature is not as genuinely international as
it is often fondly assumed to be and is essential reading for those
interested in the consequences of globalization on children's
literature and culture."
