Sobre IBD

Children’s Literature in Context is a clear, accessible and concise introduction to children’s literature and its wider contexts. It begins by introducing key issues involved in the study of children’s literature and its social, cultural and literary contexts. Close readings of commonly studied texts including Lewis Carroll’s Alice books, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Harry Potter series and the His Dark Materials trilogy highlight major themes and ways of reading children’s literature. A chapter on afterlives and adaptations explores a range of wider cultural texts including the film adaptations of Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Golden Compass. The final section introduces key critical interpretations from different perspectives on issues including innocence, gender, fantasy, psychoanalysis and ideology. ’Review, Reading and Research’ sections give suggestions for further reading, discussion and research. Introducing texts, contexts and criticism, this is a lively and up-to-date resource for anyone studying children’s literature.
