Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall were examples of what Richard Hoggart termed ?scholarship boys?: working-class individuals who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. This book highlights the role these writers played in changing the publishing and reviewing practices of the British children's literature industry while offering new readings of their novels featuring scholarship boys. As well as drawing on the work of Raymond Williams and Pierre Bourdieu, and referring to studies of scholarship boys in the fields of social science and education, this book explores personal interviews and archival materials. Yielding significant insights on British children?s literature of the period, this book will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the fields of children?s and working-class literature and of British popular culture. 410 0$aCritical Approaches to Children's Literature 606 $aChildren's literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aFiction 606 $aChildren's Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/823000 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aFiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825000 615 0$aChildren's literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aChildren's Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction. 676 $a820.99282 700 $aTakiuchi$b Haru$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937878 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255095103321 996 $aBritish Working-Class Writing for Children$92112823 997 $aUNINA
