All too often, attention is paid only to those children's novels
that were written in English, with non-English-language works being
passed over and neglected. Beyond Babar: The European Tradition in
Children's Literature examines eleven of the most celebrated
European children's novels in substantial, critical essays written
by well-known international scholars. This approach provides a
comprehensive discussion of the selected works from a variety of
theoretical perspectives. Each essay offers a critical introduction
to the text that can serve as a point of departure for literary
scholars, professors of children's literature, primary and
secondary school teachers, and librarians who are interested in
texts that cross languages and cultures. Beyond Babar is especially
meant to assist instructors of children's literature who would like
to use these texts in the classroom, in order to begin to redress
the English-language dominance of many children's literature
courses. This volume will also be of interest to the general
public, as its ultimate aim is to bring to the attention of all
English-speaking readers the literature from other parts of the
world, in this case from Europe. Beyond Babar helps to facilitate
the border crossings of these European masterpieces of children's
literature into the English-speaking world.
