Description

Explore the deep connections between literary works and the way children interact with the world. Children's Play in Literature: Investigating the Strengths and the Subversions of the Playing Child provides a detailed look at how authors use play to reveal a child's perspective. This volume covers the period from 1700 to the present, offering a broad historical view of childhood studies. While modern researchers study linguistic and dramatic play, this book highlights how authors of literature and film have long understood these concepts. By looking at creators who write for children and those who use children as central characters, the text examines the ways play can be both empowering and subversive. It is an essential resource for those interested in how storytelling captures the experimental nature of childhood through various media.
