This book investigates how cultural sameness and difference has
been presented in a variety of forms and genres of children's
literature from Denmark, Germany, France, Russia, Britain, and the
United States; ranging from English caricatures of the 1780s to
dynamic representations of contemporary cosmopolitan childhood. The
chapters address different models of presenting foreigners using
examples from children's educational prints, dramatic performances,
travel narratives, comics, and picture books. Contributors
illuminate the ways in which the texts negotiate the tensions
between the Enlightenment ideal of internationalism and discrete
national or ethnic identities cultivated since the Romantic era,
providing examples of ethnocentric cultural perspectives and of
cultural relativism, as well as instances where discussions of
child reader agency indicate how they might participate eventually
in a tolerant transnational community.
