Abstract:

The Mighty Child offers an existentialist approach to the theorization and
criticism of children’s literature, nuancing the academic claim that
children’s literature, specifically defined as ‘didactic’, alienates childhood
from adulthood and disempowers its implied child reader. This volume recentres
the theoretical debate around the constructions of time and power which
characterize conceptions of childhood and adulthood in children’s literature.
The ‘hidden’, didactic adult of children’s literature, this volume argues, is
not solely the dictatorial planner of the child’s future, but also a
disempowered entity, yearning for unpredictability in the semi-educational,
semi-aesthetic endeavor of the children’s book. Leaning on current work in the
field of children’s literature theory, on French phenomenological
existentialism, and on the philosophy and sociology of childhood, The Mighty
Child is addressed to contemporary theorists and critics of children’s
literature.
