Description

This critical study examines how children's writers from the 19th and 20th centuries wielded language as a persuasive tool. Knowles and Malmkjaer analyse works by English juvenile fiction authors to reveal the colonial and class assumptions embedded within their narratives. The book explores how modern teen novels and Roald Dahl's fiction attempt to shape children's behaviour within established social frameworks. Through detailed analysis of classics by Oscar Wilde, E. Nesbit, Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis, this Routledge publication illuminates the hidden ideological messages in beloved children's literature and how authors use narrative control to influence young readers' worldviews and social conformity.
