Children’s Literature and Childhood Discourses
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-17698-0 (ISBN)
Connecting classic children’s texts such as Alice in Wonderland with contemporary fiction including Murder Most Unladylike, the book innovatively brings together perspectives from corpus linguistics, stylistics, cognitive linguistics, literary and cultural studies, and human geography. It explores approaches to experiencing fiction, as well as methods for the study of literary texts. Childhood discourses are investigated through the materiality of texts, the spaces that literature takes up in libraries, the cultural history of fiction moulded through performances, as well as reading environments that shape childhood experiences, such as fashion and urban spaces.
Children’s Literature and Childhood Discourses emphasizes the crucial link between fictional stories and real life.
