This collection of essays offers innovative methodological and
disciplinary approaches to the intersection of Anglophone literary
cultures with children and childhoods across the twentieth century.
In two acts of re-centering, the volume focuses both on the
multiplicity of childhoods and literary cultures and on child
agency. Looking at classic texts for young audiences and at less
widely-read and unpublished material (across genres including
poetry, fiction, historical fiction or biography, picturebooks, and
children's television), essays foreground the representation of
child voices and subjectivities within texts, explore challenges to
received notions of childhood, and emphasize the role of
child-oriented texts in larger cultural and political projects.
Chapters frame themes of spectacle, self, and specularity across
the twentieth-century; question tropes of childhood; explore
identity and displacement in narrating history and culture; and
elevate children as makers of literary culture. A major intent of
the volume is to approach literary culture not just as produced by
adults for consumption by children but also as co-created by young
people through their actions as speakers, artists, readers, and
writers.
