This landmark volume is the first to bring together leading
scholarship on children's and young adult literature from three
intersecting disciplines: Education, English, and Library and
Information Science. Distinguished by its multidisciplinary
approach, it describes and analyzes the different aspects of
literary reading, texts, and contexts to illuminate how the book is
transformed within and across different academic figurations of
reading and interpreting children's literature.
- Part one considers perspectives on readers and reading
literature in home, school, library, and community settings.
- Part two introduces analytic frames for studying young adult
novels, picturebooks, indigenous literature, graphic novels, and
other genres. Chapters include commentary on literary experiences
and creative production from renowned authors and
illustrators.
- Part three focuses on the social contexts of literary study,
with chapters on censorship, awards, marketing, and literary
museums.
The singular contribution of this Handbook is to lay the
groundwork for colleagues across disciplines to redraw the map of
their separately figured worlds, thus to enlarge the scope of
scholarship and dialogue as well as push ahead into uncharted
territory.
