Rulers of Literary Playgrounds: Politics of Intergenerational Play
in Children's Literature offers multifaceted reflection on
interdependences between children and adults as they engage in play
in literary texts and in real life. This volume brings together
international children's literature scholars who each look at
children's texts as key vehicles of intergenerational play
reflecting ideologies of childhood and as objects with which
children and adults interact physically, emotionally, and
cognitively. Each chapter applies a distinct theoretical approach
to selected children's texts, including individual and social play,
constructive play, or play deprivation. This collection of essays
constitutes a timely voice in the current discussion about the
importance of children's play and adults' contribution to it
vis-a-vis the increasing limitations of opportunities for
children's playful time in contemporary societies.
