The picturebook is now recognized as a sophisticated art form that
has provided a space for some of the most exciting innovations in
the field of children's literature. This book brings together the
work of expert scholars from the UK, the USA and Europe to present
original theoretical perspectives and new research on picturebooks
and their readers. The authors draw on a variety of disciplines
such as art and cultural history, semiotics, philosophy, cultural
geography, visual literacy, education and literary theory in order
to revisit the question of what a picturebook is, and how the best
authors and illustrators meet and exceed artistic, narrative and
cultural expectations. The book looks at the socio-historical
conditions of different times and countries in which a range of
picturebooks have been created, pointing out variations but also
highlighting commonalities. It also discusses what the stretching
of borders may mean for new generations of readers, and what
contemporary children themselves have to say about picturebooks.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the New
Review of Children's Literature and Librarianship.
