This volume visits death in children's literature from around the
world, making a substantial contribution to the dialogue between
the expanding fields of Childhood Studies, Children's Literature,
and Death Studies. Considering both textual and pictorial
representations of death, contributors focus on the topic of death
in children's literature as a physical reality, a philosophical
concept, a psychologically challenging adjustment, and/or a social
construct. Essays covering literature from the US, Mexico, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Canada, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Poland,
Bulgaria, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, India, and Iran
display a diverse range of theoretical and cultural perspectives.
Carefully organized sections interrogate how classic texts have
been adapted for the twenty-first century, how death has been
politicized, ritualized, or metaphorized, and visual strategies for
representing death, and how death has been represented within the
context of play. Asking how different cultures present the concept
of death to children, this volume is the first to bring together a
global range of perspective on death in children's literature and
will be a valuable contribution to an array of disciplines.
