The Critical Merits of Young Adult Literature: Coming of Age
Editat de Crag Hillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2015
The treatment is both conceptual and pragmatic. Each chapter discusses a topical text set of YA novels in a conceptual framework—how these novels contribute to or deconstruct conventional wisdom about key topics from identity formation to awareness of world issues, while also providing a springboard in secondary and college classrooms for critical discussion of these novels. Uncloaking many of the issues that have been essentially invisible in discussions of YA literature, these essays can then guide the design of curriculum through which adolescent readers hone the necessary skills to unpack the ideologies embedded in YA narratives. The annotated bibliography provides supplementary articles and books germane to all the issues discussed. Closing "End Points" highlight and reinforce cross-cutting themes throughout the book and tie the essays together.

Recenzii
"…. Addressing themes and literary devices central to the success of the best YA literature, the collected essays easily show why such works are popular with teens and worthy of rigorous examination. … It is the meticulously researched analyses in the chapters that follow that readers will truly appreciate. Hill carefully chose essays that examine the theoretical foundations of young adult literature and that will foster meaningful discussion in the classroom about the legitimacy of the texts. … this volume is powerful ammunition for a battle that should have been won long ago. Summing Up: Essential. All readers." - D.C. Greenwood, Albright College, in CHOICE, November 2014

Bickmore, Co-Editor of The ALAN Review, From the Foreword
