Handbook of Research on Children’s and Young Adult Literature This landmark volume is the fi rst to bring together the leading scholarship on children’s and young adult literature from three intersecting disciplines: Education, English, and Library and Information Science. Distinguished by its multidisciplinary approach, it describes and analyzes the different aspects of literary reading, texts, and contexts to illuminate how the book is transformed within and across different academic fi gurations of reading and interpreting children’s literature. • Part 1 considers perspectives on readers and reading literature in home, school, library, and community settings. • Part 2 introduces analytic frames for studying young adult novels, picturebooks, indigenous literature, graphic novels, and other genres. Accompanying each chapter are commentaries on literary experiences and creative production from renowned authors and illustrators including David Wiesner, Lois Lowry, Philip Pullman, Jacqueline Woodson, Markus Zusak, Joseph Bruchac, and M.T. Anderson. • Part 3 focuses on the social contexts of literary study, with chapters on censorship, awards, marketing, and literary museums. Editors’ part-opener essays and chapter introductions point academic and practitioner colleagues to each fi eld’s histories, contemporary concerns, and research methods, while outlining the potential for intersecting research and scholarship in all three fi elds. Chapter authors write from a combination of scholarly as well as personal perspectives. Readers—scholars, teachers, librarians, parents, publishers, editors, and those on the verge of entering the fi eld—are invited to join the conversation, to raise their own arguments, contradictions, and questions, to look for personal refl ections on their own lives and their lives among youth and their books. The singular contribution of this Handbook is to lay the groundwork for colleagues across disciplines to redraw the map of their separately fi gured worlds, thus to enlarge the scope of scholarship and dialogue as well as push ahead into uncharted territory.
