The Crossover Novel: Contemporary Children's Fiction and Its Adult Readership de Rachel Falconer

The Crossover Novel: Contemporary Children's Fiction and Its Adult Readership: Children's Literature and Culture

Autor Rachel Falconer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2009
"Highly recommended" by Choice
While crossover books such as Rowling's Harry Potter series have enjoyed enormous sales and media attention, critical analysis of crossover fiction has not kept pace with the growing popularity of this new category of writing and reading. Falconer remedies this lack with close readings of six major British works of crossover fiction, and a wide-ranging analysis of the social and cultural implications of the global crossover phenomenon. A uniquely in-depth study of the crossover novel, Falconer engages with a ground-breaking range of sources, from primary texts, to child and adult reader responses, to cultural and critical theory.

Recenzii

"Well written and documented, this accessible volume, with its extensive bibliography, will be valuable for those interested in children's literature - highly recommended" -- Choice, March 2009
"The Crossover Novel is an exhaustively researched and deeply theoretical approach to the phenomenon of crossover literature...provides an excellent groundwork for further study in this arena of children's literature."
-- Children's Literature Association Quarterly, Summer 2009, Vol. 34, No. 2
"[Falconer] seems genuinely interested in getting to the heart of profound questions of readership....What makes Falconer’s book so strong is that, although she may invoke her voracious child-reader self, she doesn’t settle for easy answers." --The Lion and the Unicorn 33 (2009) 
 

'... Detailed understanding of the crossover phenonmenon... astute associations between Calvino and Freud... dizzying array of scholarship... The Crossover Novel is an exhaustively researched and deeply theoretical approach to the phenomenon of crossover literature in which Falconer undoubtedly draws on her own background in classical and contemporary theory... highly applicable to numerous areas of scholarship... provides an excellent groundwork for further study.' - Children's Literature Association Quarterly
'Falconer’s book provides a very strong and very interesting discussion of why crossover fiction has become so popular in the recent decade... What makes Falconer’s book so strong is that, although she may invoke her voracious child-reader self, she doesn’t settle for easy answers... genuinely interested in getting to the heart of profound questions of readership, best illustrated in her self-reflective discussion of The Silver Chair... convincingly elucidates how th[e] child’s gaze is not simply a traditionally innocent one, but a complex one... It will be Falconer’s [book] that ultimately enriches the critical field.' - The Lion and the Unicorn
"Engaging with the most current social and literary debates on the highest academic level, Falconer redeems the pledge she makes in the preface: 'This study will, I hope, contribute to the growing body of work which considers children's literature as literature.' - Bookbird, Vol. 48, No. 1, January 2010
