This book focuses on the (de)canonization processes in children's literature, considering the construction and cultural-historical changes of canons in children's literatures from the UK, US, Europe, Australia, Israel, and elsewhere. Essays assess authors and works that have encountered changing fates in the course of canon history. Particular emphasis is given to sociological canon theories, relating historical changes in the canon of children's literature not only to historical changes in concepts of childhood but to political, social, economic, cultural, and ideological shifts. The book's comparative approach is essential to assessing transnational processes in canon formation.
