ENGL 203 Children's - Literature

Institution:

University of Richmond

Subject:

Description:

Analysis of children's literature, from folk and fairy tales to today's stories, poems and novels for children. Prerequisite(s): English 103 with a grade of C or better or exemption. General Education Requirement: (FSLT) Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: This course offers a selective survey of literature for children and young adults. The focus may shift from semester to semester, but will always include a range of fairy tales and novels for children and young adults, as well as a selection of picture books, early readers, and/or poetry for children. The course emphasizes the literary quality rather than the pedagogical value of literature for children. During the course of the semester we will focus on finding the cultural, historical, and literary contexts for the literature of childhood, exploring the relationship between what we know and what we think we know about children and their literature, and understanding a body of literature that is widely enjoyed but rarely respected.
