Description

Explore the history of children's books with Introducing Children's Literature from Routledge. This guide provides a clear way to read and understand children's texts through the lens of literary history. By looking at the major movements from Romanticism to Postmodernism, authors Thacker and Webb explain how the concerns of each era shaped the books written for young readers. Each section starts with a general chapter that connects the main issues of a literary period to the themes and formal qualities found in children's texts. Following these explanations, the book provides close readings of selected texts to demonstrate these connections. This resource is a helpful tool for anyone studying how literary shifts influence the stories and themes presented to children throughout history.
