Secondhand

Article description

WINNER OF THE 2007 CHLA BOOK AWARD! Childrens literature has transcended linguistic and cultural borders since books and magazines for young readers were first produced, with popular books translated throughout the world. Emer OSullivan traces the history of comparative childrens literature studies, from the enthusiastic internationalism of the post-war period - which set out from the idea of a supra-national world republic of childhood - to modern comparative criticism. Drawing on the scholarship and childrens literature of many cultures and languages, she outlines the constituent areas that structure the field, including contact and transfer studies, intertextuality studies, intermediality studies and image studies. In doing so, she provides the first comprehensive overview of this exciting new research area. Comparative Childrens Literature also links the fields of narratology and translation studies, to develop an original and highly valuable communicative model of translation.
