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.
