| Summary: | In lieu of an abstract: Family in Children's and Young Adult Literature, edited by Eleanor Spencer and Jade Dillon Craig, is a wide-ranging collection that delves into the multifaceted representation of families in Anglophone children’s and young adult literature from the nineteenth century to the present day. It takes up the baton from Ann Alston’s 2008 study, The Family in Children’s Literature, which examined ideological assumptions about the family in youth literature, and explicitly extends the scope to the field of YA literature. The inclusion of YA novels in this current volume affords it great scope for exploring more subversive portrayals of family life. |
