Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Clark's text is scholarly without alienating the non-scholar. Using familiar authors and texts from the 19th and 20th Centuries, and a super-abundance of critical and popular responses to those texts, she illustrates the rise, fall, and reascension of children's literature as a respected pursuit. Her list of sources is unfathomable; my only occasional complaint was a feeling of, "all right, already, I was sold several quotes ago."
