Special issue of Children's Literature Association Quarterly: Narrative
Theories and Practices in Children's and Young Adult Literature (Spring 2003)
Guest editors Mike Cadden and Andrea Schwenke Wyile invite papers that
explore the narrative peculiarities, innovations, and/or conventions in
children's and/or young adult literature. Comparisons to adult literature
are welcome. We are especially interested in irony/parody, focalization,
and narration, but all narratological issues and approaches are welcome.
Possible questions to explore include: Does narrative theory offer us a way
to talk about the kinds of narrative structure or styles of narration
present in children's and young adult literature? If not, what's missing?
Do these genres explore the same narrative terrain as adult literature?
What do the practices of children's literature have to offer narrative
theory? What does narrative theory have to offer the study of the unique
genres of children's and young adult literature?
Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2002 (e-mail submissions welcome)
