This course explores shifting attitudes towards childhood, children?s literature, and their attendant critical and theoretical discourses from the nineteenth-century to the present. You will examine the linguistic and narrative strategies that adult writers, illustrators, and fi lmmakers deploy in their attempts to speak to, and for, young audiences, and the assumptions that we, as adults, bring to our encounters with historical and contemporary children?s texts.
