Description

Explore the persuasive power of language in this academic study from Routledge. Language and Control in Children's Literature examines how writers from the 19th and 20th centuries used text to shape perspectives and exert influence. By analyzing juvenile fiction from the 19th century, authors Knowles and Malmkjaer reveal the specific colonial and class assumptions built into these early books. The text moves into the modern era to look at contemporary teen novels and the work of Roald Dahl. This section investigates how modern writing attempts to guide children within established social frameworks. This book is an essential resource for those studying how literature acts as a tool for social and behavioral direction. Through detailed analysis, the study covers a wide range of influential figures including Oscar Wilde, E. Nesbit, Lewis Carroll, and C.S. Lewis. It provides a deep look at how literary works serve as mechanisms for social control across different eras.
