The Oxford Handbook of Children's Literature

Julia L. Mickenberg

4/5 ( ratings)

The Oxford Handbook of Children's Literature provides a grounding in this field through a selection of original interdisciplinary essays on canonical and popular works in the Anglo-American tradition. Twenty-six essays address theoretical, historical, sociological, and critical issues through analyses of classic novels such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables, and The Swiss Family Robinson; early educational and religious works such as The New England Primer and Froggy's Little Brother; picture books, comics, and graphic novels such as Millions of Cats, Peanuts, and American Born Chinese; early readers, including The Cat in the Hat and the Frog and Toad; newer children's classics such as Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret, the Harry Potter series and the His Dark Materials trilogy; and works of poetry and drama, including The Dream Keeper and Peter Pan. Other media, such as the classic album Free to Be... You and Me Me and the generation-defining cartoon film Dumbo, are also addressed. An editors' introduction sets the stage by reviewing the field's history, foundational scholarship, and critical trends.
