Special issue of New Review of Children's Literature and Librarianship
I am very pleased to announce that a very special issue (Vol 11,
Number 2, November 2005) of the New Review has just been published.
This special issue follows on from a conference entitled "Fiction
for Children Comes of Age" which was held on 23 April 2005 at the New
Education Faculty Building at the University of Cambridge. Having at
its heart a celebration of the paperback issue of Coming of Age in
Children's Literature (written by the two distinguished critics of
children's literature Margaret Meek Spencer and Victor Watson), the
conference enjoyed presentations from Meek Spencer and Watson and
several other well-respected speakers. This special issue features
articles derived from these presentations and has been edited by
Morag Styles (a member of the Editorial Board of the "New Review of
Children's Literature and Librarianship").
The table of contents is as follows:
Fiction for Children Comes of Age: Editorial - Morag Styles
Has Children's Literature Come of Age? - Victor Watson
Growing up in Reading. The Balance of Fictive Reality and the Real
World: The Reader's Lessons - Margaret Meek Spencer
Conversation between Jan Mark and Philippa Pearce - Morag Styles
Frightening Fiction: Beyond Horror - Kimberley Reynolds
Alternative Worlds in Fantasy Fiction - Revisited - Peter Hunt
News from the Front: The Great War (1914-18 in Literature for Young
Readers - Geoff Fox
