Psychoanalytic Responses to Children's Literature (Paperback)

With the growing emphasis on theory in literary studies,
psychoanalytic criticism has taken its place alongside other forms
as an important contribution to literary interpretation. Despite
its tendency to make readers uncomfortable, it offers insights into
human nature, and hence is appropriate in examining a genre such as
children's literature.Sixteen chapters in this work explore the
psychological subtexts of a number of important children's books,
including Carlo Collodi's ""Pinocchio"", Roald Dahl's ""James and
the Giant Peach"", Kenneth Grahame's ""The Wind in the Willows"",
Louise Fitzhugh's ""Harriet the Spy"", Mark Twain's ""The Prince
and the Pauper"", and E.B. White's ""Charlotte's Web"". While most
of the analyses deal primarily with the psychological development
of characters, some focus on the lives of authors and illustrators,
such as Beatrix Potter and Jessie Willcox Smith. Other chapters
analyze the various responses that readers have to children's
books. Understandable and interesting for both scholars and general
readers, this work draws on the ideas of such psychoanalytic
theorists as Sigmund Freud, Alice Miller, D.W. Winnicott and
Jacques Lacan.
