Children’s Literature and Culture is an academic book series that publishes scholarly studies of children’s and young adult literature. With over a hundred volumes published from 1996 to the present, the series covers topics from picturebook theory to representations of war, gender, race, and disability in youth fiction.
The volumes are written by various academic authors and editors, examining children’s literature through critical lenses including postcolonial theory, gender studies, and cultural history. Titles range from studies of individual authors (Diana Wynne Jones, Beatrix Potter) to broader surveys of topics like dystopian fiction for young adults and the Gothic in children’s literature.
