Some of the most innovative and spell-binding literature has been
written for young people, but only recently has academic study
embraced its range and complexity. This Companion offers a
state-of-the-subject survey of English-language children's
literature from the seventeenth century to the present. With
discussions ranging from eighteenth-century moral tales to modern
fantasies by J. K. Rowling and Philip Pullman, the Companion
illuminates acknowledged classics and many more neglected works.
Its unique structure means that equal consideration can be given to
both texts and contexts. Some chapters analyse key themes and major
genres, including humour, poetry, school stories, and picture
books. Others explore the sociological dimensions of children's
literature and the impact of publishing practices. Written by
leading scholars from around the world, this Companion will be
essential reading for all students and scholars of children's
literature, offering original readings and new research that
reflects the latest developments in the field.
