Description
This is the first study to take a comprehensive look at transnational childrens literature in the period before 1900. The chapters examine what we mean by `childrens literature in this period, as well as what we mean by `transnational in the context of childrens culture. They investigate who transmitted childrens 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 childrens reading, from cheap print such as almanacs and ABCs to fairy tales and fables, childrens novels, textbooks, and beautifully illustrated gift-books.
