Transcending Boundaries
Transcending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults is a collection of essays on twentieth-century authors who cross the borders between adult and children's literature and appeal to both audiences. This collection of fourteen essays by scholars from eight countries constitutes the first book devoted to the art of crosswriting the child and adult in twentieth-century international literature. Sandra Beckett explores the multifaceted nature of crossover literature and the diverse ways in which writers cross the borders to address a dual readership of children and adults. It considers classics such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Pinocchio, with particular emphasis on post-World War II literature. The essays in Transcending Boundaries clearly suggest that crossover literature is a major, widespread trend that appears to be sharply on the rise.
Nesthäkchen’s Teenage Years
A Nesthäkchen is the youngest child in a family. Else Ury's Nesthäkchen is a Berlin doctor's daughter, Annemarie Braun, a slim, golden blond, quintessential German girl. The ten book series follows Annemarie from infancy (Nesthäkchen and Her Dolls) to old age and grandchildren (Nesthäkchen with White Hair). This 5th volume of the series tells the story of 16-year-old Annemarie's experiences during the social and economic upheavals in Weimar Germany just after World War I.
Little Red Readings
A significant body of scholarship examines the production of children's literature by women and minorities, as well as the representation of gender, race, and sexuality. But few scholars have previously analyzed class in children's literature. This definitive collection remedies that by defining and exemplifying historical materialist approaches to children's literature. The introduction of Little Red Readings lucidly discusses characteristics of historical materialism, the methodological approach to the study of literature and culture first outlined by Karl Marx, defining key concepts and analyzing factors that have marginalized this tradition, particularly in the United States. The thirtee...
The Teller's Tale
This book offers new, often unexpected, but always intriguing portraits of the writers of classic fairy tales. For years these authors, who wrote from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, have been either little known or known through skewed, frequently sentimentalized biographical information. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were cast as exemplars of national virtues; Hans Christian Andersen's life became—with his participation—a fairy tale in itself. Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the prim governess who wrote moral tales for girls, had a more colorful past than her readers would have imagined, and few people knew that nineteen-year-old Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy conspired to kill her much-older husband. Important figures about whom little is known, such as Giovan Francesco Straparola and Giambattista Basile, are rendered more completely than ever before. Uncovering what was obscured for years and with newly discovered evidence, contributors to this fascinating and much-needed volume provide a historical context for Europe's fairy tales.
A Past Without Shadow

Lesesozialisation in der Familie
Diese Arbeit geht davon aus, dass sich die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die die Familie als Institution der Lesesozialisation umgeben, in den letzten Jahren verändert haben. Es finden sich einerseits Hinweise dafür, dass Eltern und Kinder zunehmenden Zeitrestriktionen ausgesetzt sind, andererseits sind gleichzeitig die Anforderungen der Gesellschaft an Bildung und Erziehung gestiegen. Unter Berücksichtigung von sozialisationstheoretischen Ansätzen sowie Ansätzen, die insbesondere auf das Zusammenwirken von Bildung und Zeit abstellen, wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwieweit die Familie als Institution der Lesesozialisation überhaupt noch von Bedeutung ist und wie sich verschieden...
