It analyses the nature of the practical critical activity which the child reader carries out, emphasising what the child does to the text rather than what he or she receives from it. Through close readings of a range of so-called 'Golden Age' novels for children which continue to shape our understanding of what children's literature entails, including The Railway Children, The Wind in the Willows, The Hobbit, and mid-20th-century series fiction, it demonstrates how the child critic resists the processes of idealisation at work in such texts. By bringing together ideas from literary theory and the philosophy of education, drawing in particular on the work of the philosopher John Dewey, it provides a compelling new account of the complex relationships between literary aesthetics and literary didacticism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Children's literature, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Children $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Reader-response criticism. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Joy, Louise, 1979- author. $t Literature's children $d London, UK ; New York, NY : Bloomsbury Academic, 2019 $z 9781472577207 $w (DLC) 2019007945 830 0 $a Bloomsbury perspectives on children's literature 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100031.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200208014226.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105025425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9BD2B172CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
