Course Name : Classics of Children`s Literature
Program :
Program Detail : During a 50-year period, from about 1860 to 1910, many of the major works of children's literature were published - among them, Alice in Wonderland, The Wind in the Willows, Peter Pan, Treasure Island and The Wizard of Oz. This course examines these and other classics of children's literature with the aim of discovering what visions they present of childhood, of the social world, and of the self.
Particular attention is given to how these books address the two audiences of children's literature - the child and the adult. Most of these books create a world elsewhere, apart from daily reality - Wonderland, Oz, Never-never Land. The course explores the meanings these other worlds assume within their social settings.
