Postmodernism, New Historicism and Postcolonialism: Some Recent Historical Novels
Children's fiction at the close of the twentieth century and beginning of the twenty‐first differs in many ways from the fiction of earlier periods. This chapter presents a brief overview of some of these differences, including increased attention to adult normativity, increased juxtaposition of past and present, an overt concern for a dual audience of children and adults, rapid serialization, and a stubborn dearth of diversity despite industry‐wide attention to diverse literature.
This text looks at the ways in which Australia's indigenous peoples have been, and continue to be, represented in books for children. These varying representations have helped to colour the attitudes, beliefs and assumptions of different generations of Australians.<br /
This paper discusses the historical development of representations of slavery in children's literature. It argues that the way slavery is portrayed in any text will be the result of the author's own background and beliefs as well as the prevalent social view of the issues at the time of writing. By detailed analysis of a number of key texts, from the nineteenth century to the present day, the paper considers the changing views of slavery and how these developments follow society's changing concept of the child and childhood.
