The Victorian Era in Twenty-First Century Children’s and Adolescent Literature and Culture, Paperback / softback Book

The Victorian Era in Twenty-First Century Children’s and Adolescent Literature and Culture Paperback / softback

Edited by Sara K. Day, Sonya Sawyer Fritz

Part of the Children's Literature and Culture series

Paperback / softback

Description

Victorian literature for audiences of all ages provides a broad foundation upon which to explore complex and evolving ideas about young people.

In turn, this collection argues, contemporary works for young people that draw on Victorian literature and culture ultimately reflect our own disruptions and upheavals, particularly as they relate to child and adolescent readers and our experiences of them.

The essays herein suggest that we struggle now, as the Victorians did then, to assert a cohesive understanding of young readers and that this lack of cohesion is a result of or a parallel to the disruptions taking place on a larger (even global) scale.
