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. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/clcc.4.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027201584.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027201584.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/clcc.4.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/clcc.4.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/clcc.4.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/clcc.4.hb.png 01 01 JB code clcc.4.001tof 06 10.1075/clcc.4.001tof ix x 2 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Table of figures Table of figures 01 01 JB code clcc.4.002ack 06 10.1075/clcc.4.002ack xi xii 2 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements 01 01 JB code clcc.4.00bea 06 10.1075/clcc.4.00bea 1 12 12 Miscellaneous 3 01 04 Introduction Introduction 01 01 JB code clcc.4.p1 06 10.1075/clcc.4.p1 Section header 4 01 04 Part I.
