Featuring close readings of commonly studied texts, this book takes
students of Children's Literature through the key works, their
contexts and critical and popular afterlives. "Children's
Literature in Context" is a clear, accessible and concise
introduction to children's literature and its wider contexts. It
begins by introducing key issues involved in the study of
children's literature and its social, cultural and literary
contexts. Close readings of commonly studied texts including Lewis
Carroll's Alice books, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", "The Lion",
"The Witch and the Wardrobe", the "Harry Potter" series and the
"His Dark Materials" trilogy highlight major themes and ways of
reading children's literature. A chapter on afterlives and
adaptations explores a range of wider cultural texts including the
film adaptations of "Harry Potter", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and
"The Golden Compass". The final section introduces key critical
interpretations from different perspectives on issues including
innocence, gender, fantasy, psychoanalysis and ideology. 'Review,
Reading and Research' sections give suggestions for further
reading, discussion and research. Introducing texts, contexts and
criticism, this is a lively and up-to-date resource for anyone
studying children's literature. Texts and Contexts is a series of
clear, concise and accessible introductions to key literary fields
and concepts. The series provides the literary, critical,
historical context for texts and authors in a specific literary
area in a way that introduces a range of work in the field and
enables further independent study and reading.
