Dewan, Pauline.
The Art of Place in Literature for Children and Young Adults : How Locale Shapes a Story. - Lewiston : Edwin Mellen Press, 2010. - 1 online resource (410 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: place in children's literature -- Wondrous landscapes: the art of the fairy-tale setting -- The journey through life: the road, the path, the way -- Enclosed spaces: gardens, islands, valleys -- The sylvan landscape: trees, forests, jungles -- The magical built world: castles, palaces, enchanted cities -- Below the surface: caves, mines, underground places -- Liminal places: borderlines and thresholds.
This book examines the fairy-tale as a significant influence on place in the literature. The rapid development of children's fiction in the nineteenth century occurred shortly after the widespread circulation of fairy tales. Fairy tales are a particularly concrete, visual, and cinematic form of writing, a genre in which place plays a significant role. Children's authors use fictional landscapes in a variety of traditional and innovative ways to create compelling, powerful texts.
