授業概要
 The 1950s and 1960s are called the second golden age of children's literature in English. Why was this period, coinciding with the rise of television, a particularly fertile period for children's literature? What were the cultural contexts of this phenomenon? We will consider some groundbreaking works of children's literature from this perspective, while fostering an awareness of how the same concerns and tastes were/were not shared by adult culture.
