Introducing Children's Literature is an ideal guide to reading children's literature through the perspective of literary history. Focusing on the major literary movements from Romanticism to Postmodernism, Thacker and Webb examine the concerns of each period and the ways in which these concerns influence and are influenced by the children's literature of the time.
Each section begins with a general chapter, which explains the relationship between the major issues of each literary period and the formal and thematic qualities of children's texts. Close readings of selected texts follow to demonstrate the key defining characteristics of the form of writing and the literary movements.
Original in its approach, this book sets children's literature within the context of literary movements and adult literature. It is essential reading for students studying writing for children.

3. New World Orders in Contemporary Children's Literature
Utopian Transformations
by C. Bradford, K. Mallan, J. Stephens, R. McCallum

Contents:

1 A New World Order or a New Dark Age?
2 Children’s Texts, New World Orders and Transformative Possibilities
3 Masters, Slaves, and Entrepreneurs: Globalised Utopias and New World Order(ing)s
4 The Lure of the Lost Paradise: Postcolonial Utopias
5 Reweaving Nature and Culture: Reading Ecocritically
6 ‘Radiant with Possibility’: Communities and Utopianism
7 Ties that Bind: Reconceptualising Home and Family
8 The Struggle to be Human in a Posthuman World
Conclusion: The Future: What are Our Prospects?

New World Orders demonstrates how contemporary children's texts draw on utopian and dystopian tropes in their projections of possible futures. In examining a diverse range of international children's literature and film produced between 1988 and 2006, the authors explore the ways in which children's texts respond to social change and global politics, giving shape to children's perceived anxieties and desires. The book argues that children's texts are crucially implicated in shaping the values of their readers.
