Featuring close readings of selected poetry, visual texts, short
stories and novels published for children since 1945 from Naughty
Amelia Jane to Watership Down, this is the first extensive study of
the nature and form of ethical discourse in British children's
literature. Ethics in British Children's Literature explores the
extent to which contemporary writing for children might be
considered philosophical, tackling ethical spheres relevant to and
arising from books for young people, such as naughtiness, good and
evil, family life, and environmental ethics. Rigorously engaging
with influential moral philosophers, from Aristotle through Kant
and Hegel, to Arno Leopold, Iris Murdoch, Mary Midgley, and Lars
Svendsen, this book demonstrates the narrative strategies employed
to engage young readers as moral agents.
