An Introduction
by Maria Nikolajeva
This is not a children's book, but rather an academic textbook for educators, literature students, and scholars studying how to analyze children's literature through various theoretical lenses. It provides teachers and parents with tools to understand the deeper meaning and construction of the stories children read.
Each chapter includes a short introduction to a specific theoretical approach, an example of its application to a literary text, a number of activities such as study questions and reading exercises, and suggestions for further exploration. Contemporary literary theories discussed include semiotics and hermeneutics; structuralism and narratology; feminist and postcolonial theory; psychoanalysis, and reader response.
