While we owe much to twentieth and twenty-first century
researchers' careful studies of children's linguistic and dramatic
play, authors of literature, especially children's literature, have
matched and even anticipated these researchers in revealing play's
power-authors well aware of the way children use play to experiment
with their position in the world. This volume explores the work of
authors of literature as well as film, both those who write for
children and those who use children as their central characters,
who explore the empowering and subversive potentials of children at
play. Play gives children imaginative agency over limited lives and
allows for experimentation with established social roles; play's
disruptive potential also may prove dangerous not only for children
but for the society that restricts them.
