Introduces key terms, global concepts, debates, and histories for
Children's Literature in an updated edition Over the past decade,
there has been a proliferation of exciting new work across many
areas of children’s literature and culture. Mapping this vibrant
scholarship, the Second Edition of Keywords for Children’s
Literature presents original essays on essential terms and concepts
in the field. Covering ideas from “Aesthetics” to “Voice,”
an impressive multidisciplinary cast of scholars explores and
expands on the vocabulary central to the study of children’s
literature. The second edition of this Keywords volume goes beyond
disciplinary and national boundaries. Across fifty-nine print
essays and nineteen online essays, it includes contributors from
twelve countries and an international advisory board from over a
dozen more. The fully revised and updated selection of critical
writing—more than half of the essays are new to this
edition—reflects an intentionally multinational perspective,
taking into account non-English traditions and what childhood looks
like in an age of globalization. All authors trace their
keyword’s uses and meanings: from translation to poetry, taboo to
diversity, and trauma to nostalgia, the book’s scope, clarity,
and interdisciplinary play between concepts make this new edition
of Keywords for Children’s Literature essential reading for
scholars and students alike.
