Higonnet bring together twenty-two scholars to look closely at the complexities of children's culture. \u003ci\u003eGirls, Boys, Books, Toys\u003c\/i\u003e asks questions about how the gender symbolism of children's culture is constructed and resisted. What happens when women rewrite (or illustrate) nursery rhymes, adventure stories, and fairy tales told by men? How do the socially scripted plots for boys and girls change through time and across cultures? Have critics been blind to what women write about \"masculine\" topics? Can animal tales or doll stories displace tired commonplaces about gender, race, and class? Can different critical approaches--new historicism, narratology, or postcolonialism--enable us to gain leverage on the different implications of gender, age, race, and class in our readings of children's books and children's culture?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverly Lyon Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801865263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801865268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Beverly Lyon Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926137340159,"sku":"9780801865268","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_719e203b-a2f4-41d9-958a-bc2bf44deaa0.jpg?v=1681081413","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/girls-boys-books-toys-beverly-lyon-clark-9780801865268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
