授業概要
This course traces the arrival of a completely new literature for children in 19th century England. What was its cultural context and why was this literature born at this particular moment in history? We will consider some groundbreaking works of children's literature from this perspective, while fostering an awareness of how the same concerns and tastes were shared by adult culture.
