Critical Approaches to Food in Children's Literature is the first
scholarly volume on the topic, connecting children's literature to
the burgeoning discipline of food studies. Following the lead of
historians like Mark Kurlansky, Jeffrey Pilcher and Massimo
Montanari, who use food as a fundamental node for understanding
history, the essays in this volume present food as a multivalent
signifier in children's literature, and make a strong argument for
its central place in literature and literary theory. Written by
some of the most respected scholars in the field, the essays
between these covers tackle texts from the nineteenth century
(Rudyard Kipling's Kim) to the contemporary (Dave Pilkey's Captain
Underpants series), the U.S. multicultural (Asian-American) to the
international (Ireland, Brazil, Mexico). Spanning genres such as
picture books, chapter books, popular media, and children's
cookbooks, contributors utilize a variety of approaches, including
archival research, cultural studies, formalism, gender studies,
post-colonialism, post-structuralism, race studies, structuralism,
and theology. Innovative and wide-ranging, Critical Approaches to
Food in Children's Literature provides us with a critical
opportunity to puzzle out the significance of food in children's
literature.
