‘The past few years have seen radical changes in culture, ways of thinking, world views, and the books produced for the young’ DCU Adjunct Prof. Peter Hunt asking our MA students, ‘do the basics of children’s lit. criticism stand up today?’ @dculibrary.bsky.social

How to write about Edwardian children’s books? Context? Style? Genre? Their adaptations? Were they/ are they for children? Does writing about them at all perpetuate a narrow, artificial canon? Adjunct Prof. Peter Hunt’s talk showed what a rich field Children’s Literature is!

Looking forward to welcoming new and continuing students to our gorgeous DCU All Hallows campus next week to begin semester one of the MA in Children’s and Young Adult Literature! 📚 @dculibrary.bsky.social
