ENGL 5102: British Children's Literature

University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Focuses on works in British and British Colonial Children's Literature. Section information text: This course is a survey of British children's literature. Students begin by reading British fairy tales to understand the oral tradition that influenced later print narratives. We will transition to educational tracts from the seventeenth century and then move to the eighteenth century when authors began writing children's literature for both pedagogy and profit. The course moves to the poetry of William Blake, Christina Rossetti, and Robert Louis Stevenson, among others. The second half of the course treats the novel, and students should expect to read such texts as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
