Description

The 'evil child' has infiltrated the cultural imagination, taking on prominent roles in popular films, television shows and literature. This collection of essays from a global range of scholars examines a fascinating array of evil children and the cultural work that they perform, drawing upon sociohistorical, cinematic, and psychological approaches. The chapters explore a wide range of characters including Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter series, the possessed Regan in William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist, the monstrous Ben in Doris Lessing’s The Fifth Child, the hostile fetuses of Rosemary’s Baby and Alien, and even the tiny terrors featured in the reality television series Supernanny. Contributors also analyse various themes and issues within film, literature and popular culture including ethics, representations of evil and critiques of society. This book was originally published as two special issues of Literature Interpretation Theory. Review "The 'Evil Child' in Literature, Film and Popular Culture is delightfully easy to read, very entertaining, and extremely clear. Whether or not it is the result of a conscious editorial request, the concision, precision and limpidity of all the chapters in the book immediately place it astride two markets – academic and non-academic. It is to be hoped, in fact, that Routledge's austere packaging does not put off lay readers of popular non-fiction, as they would surely benefit from this intelligent, up-to-date and very readable volume." - International Research Society for Children's Literature"This book does a fascinating job depicting cultural, social, and religious differences in describing the idea of the evil child by using nationally and internationally recognized movies from Hollywood and Bollywood cinema." - Ayesha Silman, Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry About the Author Karen J. Renner is Lecturer in American Literature at Northern Arizona University, USA.
