Donna Jo Napoli has received acclaim for her young adult works and
is especially known for her historical novels and her retellings of
myth and fairy tales. In this full-length critical study, Hilary S.
Crew integrates criticism and biographical information to
illuminate Napoli's many novels, as well as other writings by
Napoli such as her essays on writing for young people and her book,
Language Matters. A comprehensive critical analysis of 19 novels,
Donna Jo Napoli: Writing with Passion provides an understanding of
how Napoli's life and profession as a professor of linguistics
influences her writing for young adults. The novels analyzed in
this study include Napoli's retellings of such fairy tales and
myths as The Magic Circle, Zel, Bound, Beast, and Sirena; novels
whose stories are drawn from religious and traditional sources such
as Song of the Magdalene, Breath, and Hush; such historical works
as The Smile, Daughter of Venice, and two novels set during WWII,
Stones in Water and Fire in the Hills; and her most recent book for
young adults, Alligator Bayo. An interview with Napoli concludes
this significant resource for those working with young adults.
