This book builds on that scholarship but also significantly extends it by exploring age in various aspects of children's literature: the age of the author, the characters, the writing style, the intended readership and the real reader. Moreover, the authors explore what different theories and methods can be used to study age in children's literature, and what their affordances and limits are. The analyses combine age studies with life writing studies, cognitive narratology, digital humanities, comparative literary studies, reader-response research and media studies. To ensure coherence, the book offers an in-depth exploration of the oeuvre of a single author, David Almond. The aesthetic and thematic richness of Almond's works have widely been recognized. This book adds to the understanding of his work by offering a multi-faceted analysis of age. In addition to discussing the film adaptation of his best-known novel Skellig, this book also offers analyses of works that have received less attention, such as Counting Stars, Clay and Bone Music. Readers will also get a fuller understanding of Almond as a crosswriter of literature for children, adolescents and adults"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aChildren's literature and culture 606 $aChildren's literature, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aYoung adult literature, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAge in literature 608 $aLiterary criticism.$2lcgft 615 0$aChildren's literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aYoung adult literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAge in literature. 676 $a823/.914 700 $aJoosen$b Vanessa$f1977-$01431632 701 $aAnjirbag$b Michelle Anya$01384628 701 $aDuthoy$b Leander$01384629 701 $aGeybels$b Lindsey$01384630 701 $aPauwels$b Frauke$01384631 701 $aSilva$b Emma-Louise$01384632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735577603321 996 $aAge in David Almond's oeuvre$93574338 997 $aUNINA
