Funded Activity Summary

The Young Writer in History. The project will add significantly to the theorization and documentation of children's literary and cultural history. It will contribute to the establishment of Literary Juvenilia in the academy, making it a viable and recognized area of literary research. It will enlarge and alter the critical reception of childhood writings, particularly in the nineteenth-century. It has the potential to radically alter the boundaries of Children's Literature. Such a study will also benefit approaches to literature in schools (the study of Juvenilia can be inspiring for young writers); and will showcase Australian scholarship that is taking the lead in innovative research in international literary studies.
