The Oxford Handbook of Children's Literature is at once a literary
history, an introduction to various theoretical perspectives and
methodological approaches, a review of genres, and a selection of
original and interdisciplinary essays on canonical and popular
works for children in the Anglo-American tradition. It is geared
toward graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and scholars new
to the study of children's literature, as well as teachers and
anyone wishing to keep up with new research and innovative
approaches to children's literature. Twenty-six essays by top
scholars from varied disciplines address theoretical, historical,
sociological, and critical issues through analyses of classic
novels such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Anne of Green
Gables, The Swiss Family Robinson, Tom Sawyer, Kidnapped, and Five
Little Peppers and How They Grew; early educational and religious
works such as The New England Primer and Froggy's Little Brother;
picture books, comics and graphic novels such as Millions of Cats,
Where the Wild Things Are, the Peanuts series and American Born
Chinese; early readers such as The Cat in the Hat and the Frog and
Toad books; newer children's classics including Are You There, God?
It's Me, Margaret, Jade, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, The Circuit,
the Harry Potter series and His Dark Materials trilogy; works of
poetry such as The Bat Poety and The Dreamkeeper; a play, Peter
Pan; and media classics such as Free to Be You and Me and Dumbo. An
editors' introduction surveys key trends in criticism, the field's
history, and foundational scholarship.
