Children's Versions of Beowulf: A Bibliography --$tIndex 330 $a"The single largest category of Beowulf representation and adaptation, outside of direct translation of the poem, is children's literature. Over the past century and a half, more than 150 new versions of Beowulf directed to child and teen audiences have appeared, in English and in many other languages. In this collection of original essays, Bruce Gilchrist and Britt Mize examine the history and processes of remaking Beowulf for young readers. Inventive in their manipulations of story, tone, and genre, these adaptations require their authors to make countless decisions about what to include, exclude, emphasize, de-emphasize, and adjust. This volume considers the many forms of children's literature, focusing primarily on picture books, illustrated storybooks, and youth novels, but taking account also of curricular aids, illustrated full translations of the poem, and songs. Contributors address issues of gender, historical context, war and violence, techniques of narration, education, and nationalism, investigating both the historical and theoretical dimensions of bringing Beowulf to child audiences."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aChildren$xBooks and reading$xHistory 606 $aChildren's literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Children's & Young Adult Literature$2bisacsh 608 $aAdaptations.$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aBeowulf. 610 $aGrendel. 610 $aOld English literature. 610 $aOld English poetry. 610 $aTolkien. 610 $aadaptation. 610 $achildren?s literature. 610 $ahistory of children?s literature. 610 $amedieval literature. 610 $apicture books. 610 $astorybooks. 610 $atranslation. 615 0$aChildren$xBooks and reading$xHistory. 615 0$aChildren's literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Children's & Young Adult Literature. 676 $a829/.3 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aGilchrist$b Bruce$01729362 701 $aMize$b Britt$01619185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838319003321 996 $aBeowulf as children's literature$94139129 997 $aUNINA
