{"product_id":"national-character-in-south-african-elwyn-jenkins-9780415976763","title":"National Character in South African English Children's Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first full-length study of South African English youth literature to cover the entire period of its publication, from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. Jenkins' book focuses on what made the subsequent literature essentially South African and what aspects of the country and its society authors concentrated on. What gives this book particular strength is its coverage of literature up to the 1960s, which has until now received almost no scholarly attention. Not only is this earlier literature a rewarding subject for study in itself, but it also throws light on subsequent literary developments. Another exceptional feature is that the book follows the author's previous work in placing children's literature in the context of adult South African literature and South African cultural history (e.g. cinema). He also makes enlightening comparisons with American, Canadian and Australian children's literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elwyn Jenkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415976766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415976763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.36w x 0.86d","brand":"Elwyn Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136126136575,"sku":"9780415976763","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d67d4848-3afd-44ee-b47b-360ffb0faee9.jpg?v=1770160684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/national-character-in-south-african-elwyn-jenkins-9780415976763","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
