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.
