Space And Place In Children's Literature, 1789 To The Present (Studies In Childhood, 1700 To The Present)

Focusing on questions of space and locale in children's literature, this collection explores how metaphorical and physical space can create landscapes of power, knowledge, and identity in texts from the early nineteenth century to the present. The contributors, who include Philip Pullman discussing his relationship to space and locale, analyze works from a range of sources and traditions by Sylvia Plath, Gloria Anzald?, Jenny Robson, C.S. Lewis, and Elizabeth Knox, among others.
