    Children's Literature charts the makings of the Western literary imagination from Aesop's fables to Mother Goose, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, from Where the Wild Things Are to Harry Potter. Seth Lerer here explores the iconic books, ancient and contemporary alike, that have forged a lifelong love of literature in young readers during their formative years. Along the way, Lerer also looks at the changing environments of family life and human growth, schooling and scholarship, and publishing and politics in which children found themselves changed by the books they read. This ambitious work appraises a broad trajectory of influences--including Shakespeare's plays, John Locke's theories of education, Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and the Puritan tradition--which have each shaped children's literature through the ages as well.--From publisher description

    Die Untersuchung umfasst drei Teile: Im ersten Teil liegt der Schwerpunkt auf einer Darstellung und Diskussion der Forschungsgeschichte und des Forschungsstandes zum kinder- und jugendliterarischen Phantastikbegriff. Zudem wird eine Abgrenzung zu benachbarten Textsorten vorgenommen. Auf Grundlage der strukturalen Textanalyse werden im zweiten Teil repraesentative Texte der wichtigsten Autoren phantastischer Kinder- und Jugendliteratur interpretiert. Eine Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse schliesst diesen Abschnitt ab. Im dritten Teil finden die Funktionen von Phantastik und Fantasy Beruecksichtigung, insbesondere die entwicklungsunterstuetzende und die Orientierungsfunktion. Diese Ueberlegungen basieren auf der psychoanalytischen Entwicklungstheorie und soziologischen Befunden zur Postmoderne.
