| Abstract | "Providing an interdisciplinary perspective on children's fiction and childhood, this book offers a fresh insight into the key issues in fiction for children, such as gender, social stereotypes, embodied and spatial experience, and emotions. Connecting classic children's texts, such as Alice in Wonderland with contemporary fiction, such as Harry Potter, the book innovatively brings together perspectives from corpus linguistics, stylistics, cognitive linguistics, literary and cultural studies, and human geography to cast light on the role of literature in how children construct the world around them"-- Provided by publisher. |
