Abstract:

This is the first study to take a comprehensive look at transnational
children’s literature in the period before 1900. The chapters examine
what we mean by ‘children’s literature’ in this period, as well as
what we mean by ‘transnational’ in the context of children’s culture.
They investigate who transmitted children’s books across borders
(authors, illustrators, translators, publishers, teachers, relatives,
readers), through what networks the books were spread (commercial,
religious, colonial, public, familial), and how the new local
identities of imported texts were negotiated. They ask which kinds of
books were the most mobile, and they consider what happens to texts
when they migrate, as well as what effects transnational dissemination
had on individual readers, and on societies and cultures more broadly.
Geographically, the case studies gathered here range right across
Europe, from Dublin to St Petersburg, then onto North America, India
and China. They extend widely across the many genres and formats of
children’s reading, from cheap print such as almanacs and ABCs to
fairy tales and fables, children’s novels, textbooks, and beautifully
illustrated gift-books.
