| 520 | 1 | |a "In Kiddie Lit, Beverly Lyon Clark explores the marginalization of children's literature in America - and its recent possible reintegration - both within the academy and by the mainstream critical establishment. Tracing the reception of works by Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, Lewis Carroll, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L. Frank Baum, Walt Disney, and J.K. Rowling, Clark reveals fundamental shifts in the assessment of the literary worth of books beloved by both children and adults, whether written for boys, girls, or both. | |
