26 Crossover Fiction Global and Historical Perspectives Sandra L. Beckett, Brock University, Canada In Crossover Fiction, Sandra L. Beckett explores the global trend of crossover literature and explains how it is transforming literary canons, concepts of readership, the status of authors, the publishing industry, and bookselling practices. This pioneering study will have significant relevance across disciplines, as scholars in literary studies, media and cultural studies, visual arts, education, psychology, and sociology examine the increasingly blurred borderlines between adults and young people in contemporary society, notably with regard to their consumption of popular culture. 2008: 234x156: 360pp Hb: 978-0-415-98033-3: £65.00 eBook: 978-0-203-89313-5 The Crossover Novel Contemporary Children’s Fiction and Its Adult Readership Rachel Falconer, University of Sheffield, UK ‘Highly recommended’ – Choice While crossover books such as Rowling's Harry Potter series have enjoyed enormous sales and media attention, critical analysis of crossover fiction has not kept pace with the growing popularity of this new category of writing and reading. Falconer remedies this lack with close readings of six major British works of crossover fiction, and a wide-ranging analysis of the social and cultural implications of the global crossover phenomenon. A uniquely in-depth study of the crossover novel, Falconer engages with a ground-breaking range of sources, from primary texts, to child and adult reader responses, to cultural and critical theory. 2008: 234x156: 280pp Hb: 978-0-415-97888-0: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-89217-6 ORDER NOW! CHILDREN’S LITERATURE See Order Form in the centre of this catalogue NEW Death, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Adolescent Literature Kathryn James, Deakin University, Australia Death, Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Adolescent Literature is a pioneering study that addresses these methodological and contextual gaps. Focusing on texts produced since the late-1980s, and drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives, Kathryn James shows how representations of death in young adult literature are invariably associated with issues of sexuality, gender, and power. 2008: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-96493-7: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-88515-4 Enterprising Youth Social Values and Acculturation in Nineteenth-Century American Children’s Literature Edited by Monika Elbert, Montclair State Univesity, USA Enterprising Youth is a collection of literary and historical criticism of nineteenth-century American children’s literature that draws upon recent assessments of canon formations, gender studies, and cultural studies to show how concepts of public/private, male/female, and domestic/foreign are collapsed to reveal a picture of American childhood and life that is expansive and constrictive at the same time. 2008: 234x156: 312pp Hb: 978-0-415-96150-9: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-92844-8 The Family in English Children’s Literature Ann Alston, University of the West of England, UK The Family in English Children’s Literature focuses on the ideological construction of the family in children’s literature from Mrs. Sherwood’s Evangelical text of 1818 The History of the Fairchild Family to Jacqueline Wilson’s recent social reality novels, interrogating the idea that portrayals of family in children’s literature have changed dramatically, and suggesting instead that children’s literature is remarkably conservative in its desire to promote the ideals of family to its readers. 2008: 234x156: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-98885-8: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-92875-2 +44 (0)1235 400524 Fax: +44 (0)20 7017 6699 NEW “Juvenile” Literature and British Society, 1850-1950 The Age of Adolescence Charles Ferrall and Anna Jackson, both at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand This study argues that the Victorians and Edwardians created a cult of adolescence as significant as the Romantic cult of childhood, positing adolescence as a liminal period between childhood and adulthood, a time that adults could remember nostalgically but which for children leaving home represented a potentially terrifying immersion into a strictly hierarchical and authoritarian world. July 2009: 234x156: 208pp Hb: 978-0-415-96476-0: £60.00 NEW Fundamental Concepts of Children’s Literature Research Literary and Sociological Approaches Hans-Heino Ewers, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University of Frankfurt/Main, Germany This book provides students and professors with a much-needed new system of categories for a differentiated description of children’s literature, systematically analyzing the field of children’s literature and articulating its key definitions, terms, and concepts. March 2009: 234x156: 244pp Hb: 978-0-415-80019-8: £60.00 NEW Neo-Imperialism in Children’s Literature About Africa A Study of Contemporary Fiction Yulisa Amadu Maddy and Donnarae MacCann In the spirit of their last collaboration, Apartheid and Racism in South African Children’s Literature, 1985-1995, Yulisa Amadu Maddy and Donnarae MacCann once again come together to expose the neo-imperialist overtones of contemporary children’s fiction about Africa. Examining the portrayal of African social customs, religious philosophies, and political structures in fiction for young people, Maddy and MacCann reveal the Western biases that often infuse stories by well-known Western authors. 2008: 234x156: 133pp Hb: 978-0-415-99390-6: £60.00 eBook: 978-0-203-88649-6 www.routledge.com/literature
NEW Representations of Technology in Science Fiction for Young People Control Shift Noga Applebaum, Roehampton University, UK In this study about the representations of modern technology in contemporary science fiction for children and young adults, Noga Applebaum exposes the anti-technological bias existing within a genre usually associated with celebrating technology, and suggests that at the heart of this bias is adults’ fear that children, perceived as being more comfortable and skilled with certain technologies, will use them to upset the existing adult-child power hierarchy. Although focusing on the popular genre of science fiction as a useful case study, Applebaum demonstrates that negative attitudes to technology exist within children’s literature in general. July 2009: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-98951-0: £60.00 NEW Selling the Perfect Girl Girls as Consumers, Girls as Commodities Mary Napoli, Penn State Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA Examining media from producers such as, Disney, Barbie, American Girls, and Mary-Kate and Ashley, this book examines how the branding of children’s literature affects girls’ developing a sense of identity and their relationship with consumption. September 2009: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-97953-5: £60.00 NEW Translation Under State Control Books for Young People in the German Democratic Republic Gaby Thomson-Wohlgemuth, University of Surrey, UK Translation Under State Control represents a study of ideological and socio-cultural parameters in connection with book production and translation of Englishlanguage literature for children and adolescents in the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

May 2009: 234x156: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-99580-1: £60.00 NEW Shakespeare in Children’s Literature Gender and Cultural Capital Erica Hateley, Kansas State University, USA Shakespeare in Children’s Literature looks at the genre of Shakespeare-for-children, considering both adaptations of his plays and children’s novels in which he appears as a character. Drawing on feminist theory and sociology, Erica Hateley demonstrates how Shakespeare for children utilizes the ongoing cultural capital of ‘Shakespeare’, and the pedagogical aspects of children’s literature, to perpetuate anachronistic forms of identity and authority. 2008: 234x156: 230pp Hb: 978-0-415-96492-0: £65.00 eBook: 978-0-203-88924-4 Children’s Literature Catalogue is available upon request at: www.routledge.com/catalogs CHILDREN’S LITERATURE 27 2ND EDITION Critical Perspectives on Harry Potter Edited by Elizabeth E.
