| Summary |
"Emer O'Sullivan traces the history of comparative children's literature studies, from the enthusiastic internationalism of the post-war-period - which set out from the idea of a supra-national world republic of childhood - to modern comparative criticism. Drawing on the scholarship and children's literature of many cultures and language, she outlines the constituent areas that structure the field, including contact and transfer studies, intertextuality studies, intermediality studies and image studies. In doing so, she provides the first comprehensive overview of this new research area. Comparative Children's Literature also links the field of narratology and translation studies, to develop an original and highly valuable communicative model of translation."--BOOK JACKET |
