"Irish Children's Literature and Culture looks critically at Irish writing for children
from the 1980s to the present, examining the work of many writers and illustrators
and engaging with major genres, forms, and issues, including the gothic, the speculative,
picturebooks, ethnicity, and globalization. It contextualizes modern Irish children's
literature in relation to Irish mythology and earlier writings, as well as in relation
to Irish writing for adults, thereby demonstrating the complexity of this fascinating
area. What constitutes a "national literature" is rarely straightforward, and it is
especially complex when discussing writing for young people in an Irish context. Until
recently, there was only a slight body of work that could be classified as "Irish
children's literature" in comparison with Ireland's contribution to adult literature
in the twentieth century. The contributors to the volume examine a range of texts
in relation to contemporary literary and cultural theory, and children's literature
internationally, raising provocative questions about the future of the topic. Irish
Children's Literature and Culture is essential reading for those interested in Irish
literature, culture, sociology, childhood, and children's literature"--
