    Description
    This course provides a survey of representative samples of the world's literature written for and about children. This course covers both the history of this literature and the trends in style, purpose, and subject matter. Representative works of children's literature from around the world--including folk tales, mythology, fantasy, poetry, biography, and autobiography--form the basic categories of study. Students have the opportunity to develop close reading and analytical writing skills as well as an appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of literature written for children.
