Book Synopsis Ethics in British Children's Literature by : Lisa Sainsbury
Download or read book Ethics in British Children's Literature written by Lisa Sainsbury and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring close readings of selected poetry, visual texts, short stories and novels published for children since 1945 from Naughty Amelia Jane to Watership Down, this is the first extensive study of the nature and form of ethical discourse in British children's literature. Ethics in British Children's Literature explores the extent to which contemporary writing for children might be considered philosophical, tackling ethical spheres relevant to and arising from books for young people, such as naughtiness, good and evil, family life, and environmental ethics. Rigorously engaging with influential moral philosophers, from Aristotle through Kant and Hegel, to Arno Leopold, Iris Murdoch, Mary Midgley, and Lars Svendsen, this book demonstrates the narrative strategies employed to engage young readers as moral agents.
Book Synopsis Stories of Childhood by : Dean W. Duncan
Download or read book Stories of Childhood written by Dean W. Duncan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study questions the widely held perception that books, as an artistic medium, are superior to and more respectable than film or television, sometimes considered frivolous and pernicious. Criticism of both the big and small screens often obscures their signal accomplishments and the entertainment and insight they provide. The author analyzes our distaste for these media--and the romanticizing of the printed word that accompanies it--and argues that books and films are in fact quite complementary. A broad survey of film and TV offerings explores what enacted narratives have taught us about the nature of childhood.
