Given the vital role literary mothers play in books for young readers, it is remarkable how little scholarly attention has been paid to the representation of mothers outside of fairy tales and beyond studies of gender stereotypes. This collection of thirteen essays begins to fill a critical gap by bringing together a range of theoretical perspectives by a rich mix of senior scholars and new voices. Following an introduction in which the coeditors describe key trends in interdisciplinary scholarship, the book's first section focuses on the pedagogical roots of maternal influence in early children's literature. The next section explores the shifting cultural perspectives and subjectivities of the twentieth century. The third section examines the interplay of fantasy, reality, and the ethical dimensions of literary mothers. The collection ends with readings of postfeminist motherhood, from contemporary realism to dystopian fantasy. The range of critical approaches in this volume will provide multiple inroads for scholars to investigate richer readings of mothers in children's and young adult literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Children's stories, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Children's stories, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Mothers in literature. 650 0 $a Motherhood in literature. 650 0 $a Mothers in popular culture. 650 0 $a Motherhood in popular culture. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Feminism and literature. 650 0 $a Women and literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x Children's Literature. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Fraustino, Lisa Rowe, $e editor. 700 1 $a Coats, Karen, $d 1963- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Mothers in children's and young adult literature. $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2016] $z 9781496807007 $w (DLC) 2015046953 830 0 $a Children's literature association series. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1343/3148023/image/lgcover.9781496806994.jpg 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018015627.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406020143.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B1298E66B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
