The International Companion to Scottish Children's Literature

300 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The work of Scottish authors writing for children has often been subsumed into the category of British or even 'English' literature, with little critical attention paid to its distinctively Scottish character. In the first major exploration of Scottish children's literature, this INTERNATIONAL COMPANION examines everything from children's classics by Robert Louis Stevenson and J. M. Barrie to the latest work by contemporary writers in Scotland, and from picturebooks to Young Adult (YA) fiction and recent poetry. It also explores issues surrounding the reception and publication of works in Gaelic and Scots, and showcases the thriving and diverse traditions of Scottish writing for children.
