In this radically new approach to text typology, Maria Nikolajeva examines the depiction of time in literature for children. Nikolajeva identifies a continuum of texts ranging from those that depict non-linear time, typical of archaic, or mythical, thought, to those that express linearity, typical of contemporary mainstream literature. The author argues that literature is a deconstruction, a displacement, of myth, and that it depicts a symbolic coming-of-age process rather than a strictly representational reflection of a concrete "reality." The texts are categorized by the degree to which the coming-of-age process is accomplished; the movement is from an initial condition of primary harmony (Arcadia, Paradise, Utopia) through different stages toward either a successful or a failed passage.</p><p><em>From Mythic to Linear</em> is a broad study, encompassing a number of childrens novels from different epochs and countries: Scandinavian, British, American, Canadian, Australian, South African, and East European. The international character contributes a better knowledge of childrens literature from different parts of the worldwidening the horizons of childrens literature research too often confined to one particular country.</p><p>Nikolajevas unique approach allows her to disregard the traditional, and some would argue obsolete, division of childrens novels into realism and fantasy.</p><p>With its unique approach and broad international scope, <em>From Mythic to Linear</em> will be of interest to all those interested in childrens literature and in comparative literature in general. Includes bibliography and footnotes.</p>...3626646From Mythic to Linear15681742https://www.gandhi.com.mx/from-mythic-to-linear-9781461658757/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2708678/5c617ac3-8180-44ea-9d88-f51dd8c0c1ee.jpg?v=638921158862170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook19919781461658757_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_<p>Now available in paperback!
