Bringing the latest work in Memory Studies to bear on writers’ memoirs, autobiographical accounts of reading, and interviews with readers, Rereading Childhood Books explores how adults remember, revisit, and sometimes forget, these significant books. Asking what it means to return to familiar works by well-known authors such as Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis and Enid Blyton, as well as popular and ephemeral material not often considered as part of the canon, Alison Waller develops a poetics of rereading and presents a new model for understanding lifelong reading. As such she reconceives the history of children’s literature through the shared and individual experiences of the readers who carry these books with them throughout their lives.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Weight: 354gAuthor: Alison WallerGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Bloomsbury Perspectives on Children's LiteratureType: Children's Literature StudiesRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
