Struwwelpeter

Humor or Horror? : 160 Years Later

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Struwwelpeter: Humor or Horror? is a critical analysis of the now infamous Struwwelpeter stories. Looking beyond the history of child rearing practices and children's literature, Barbara Smith Chalou considers the socio-historic context in which the book was written and makes comparisons to contemporary children's fare that is similarly violent, but intended to be humorous.
