ENGL 416 - Literary Theory and Youth Literature 3 Credit Hours
A survey of major schools of 20th-and-21st-century literary criticism with an emphasis on the most prominent theorists, texts, and ideas. Readings will cover key components of literary analysis such as feminist theory, structuralism, gender and queer studies, reader-response theory, race and ethnicity studies, post-colonial theory, and cultural studies, among others. These theoretical premises will be applied to selected literary selections for children and young adults, in an examination of how these theories apply in the context of youth literature. Ideological debates surrounding multiculturalism, cultural inclusivity, authenticity, and the literary canon will also be discussed.
