- Inhalt
- Some still believe that children's picture books and young adult (YA) novels are merely preparatory steps on a reader's path towards engaging with "serious" literature. In this class, however, we will investigate these two, often marginalized, literary genres in their own right, while also paying close attention to their current critical reception within the scholarly community.
Each of our primary texts finds unique, complex, and dynamic ways to engage its audience – regardless of the age of the individual reader. Using those classics of US-American and Canadian children's and YA literature as starting points, we will ultimately examine and discuss new ways of reading and interpreting literature. For this purpose, we will consult a new literary theory (almost) every week, in order to fully understand the complexity of YA novels and children's picture books published between the 1860s and the 1960s.
Attention: Participants of this class are strongly encouraged to finish (re-)reading the three YA novels before the beginning of the semester, since your weekly reading will consist of additional required reading including essays and articles - get ready for a rigorous reading list of feminist, deconstructionist, new historicist, and other literary criticism!
