The thirteen astute essays chosen by Lisa Rowe Fraustino and Karen Coats use a wide array of theoretical approaches to investigate topics that range from innovation in an eighteenth century book for toddlers to animal mothering in picture books to the postfeminism of recent young adult novels.\"\" - Beverly Lyon Clark, author of \u003ci\u003eKiddie Lit: The Cultural Construction of Children's Literature in America\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContributions by: Robin Calland, Lauren Causey, Karen Coats, Sara K.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681691136280,"sku":"9781496818430","price":22.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mothers-in-childrens-and-young-adult-literature-from-the-eighteenth-century-to-postfeminism-paperback-softback-9781496818430","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
