Credits: 3
Description:
Schedule: May 20 through June 13, MTWR 1:10-3:40pm
This four-week course addresses literature for children mainly by British writers between the 1860s and the 1920s. Critics have called this children's literature's "Golden Age," when children's writing deviated from earlier moral and didactic forms to other modes, including fantasy, new fairy tales, adventure stories, nonsense writing, coming of age stories, and domestic fictions modeled on the adult realist novel. Among the authors covered will be Lewis Carroll, Lucy Maud Montgomery, George MacDonald, Edith Nesbit, Rudyard Kipling, Norman Lindsay, and A. A. Milne. Along the way, we will also address adaptations of major Golden Age works of children's literature into twentieth-century film. Requirements include regular journal entries, quizzes, a class presentation, and two short essays.
