{"product_id":"from-tongue-to-text-debbie-pullinger-9781350092198","title":"From Tongue to Text: A New Reading of Children's Poetry","description":"The connection between childhood and poetry runs deep. And yet, poetry written for children has been neglected by criticism and resists prevailing theories of children's literature. Drawing on Walter Ong's theory of orality and on Iain McGilChrist's work on brain function, this book develops a new theoretical framework for the study of children's poetry. \u003ci\u003eFrom Tongue to Text \u003c\/i\u003eargues that the poem is a multimodal form that exists in the borderlands between the world of experience and the world of language and between orality and literacy - places that children themselves inhabit. Engaging with a wide range of poetry from nursery rhymes and Christina Rossetti to Michael Rosen and Carol Ann Duffy, Debbie Pullinger demonstrates how these 'tactful' works are shaped by the dynamics of orality and textuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debbie Pullinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350092193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350092198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Debbie Pullinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43948043600127,"sku":"9781350092198","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5d071083-da24-49fe-8e23-d232bbefcfdf.jpg?v=1681522286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-tongue-to-text-debbie-pullinger-9781350092198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
