A study of literature written for or read by children with a focus on British and American classics. Students will read and write critical analyses of these works with special attention to the history of childhood. Authors studied may include the Brothers Grimm, Lewis Carroll, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Kenneth Grahame, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and others. Graduate students will attend the regular class meetings with the undergraduate students but will more thoroughly engage and synthesize relevant scholarly literature to integrate into a more extensive research project or series of projects.
