Newcastle University Children’s Literature Unit Seven Stories Check-List of Books on the History, Criticism and Theory of Children’s Literature 6th Edition August 2014 Peter Hunt Visiting Professor, Newcastle University, UK [email protected] This check-list comprises English-language books and substantial pamphlets; booklists, conference papers, and special issues of journals are included where they seem likely to be of lasting value or have acquired historical interest. The core subject-area of ‘children’s literature’ is, of course, overlapped by dozens of specialisations, and books are designed for different audiences. I have included only those texts that seem to me to be directly and substantially relevant to my idea of the core; I have not made any decisions on the basis of quality. I have excluded titles whose relevance to the core seems to me to be marginal (for example, biographies of Kipling), specialist areas which do not directly relate to children’s literature (for example, studies of folk-lore), ephemera (booklists or books that have dated severely), mass-market products (for example, popular biographies of J. K. Rowling), and books focussed primarily on classroom applications. Many authors have accumulated significant numbers of specialist studies (Carroll, Ransome, Philip Pullman, L. Frank Baum, George Macdonald and so on) and there has been a proliferation of fan and niche publishers (notably on religion). It is clearly impossible to include all of these; I have provided a sampling as a basis for electronic searches. Much scholarship can be found in Annotated Editions of children’s ‘classics’, and these can be found in the new Check-List of Annotated Editions of Children’s Books on this web-site. This 6th edition has been revised and corrected, and well over 150 hundred new titles, including several that had previously been overlooked, have been added: these are highlighted in BLUE for ease of reference. I should be grateful if users could send me any corrections, and any suggestions for additions or deletions. Bibliographical details have been checked, as far as possible, with actual copies, or failing that, with the British Library Integrated Catalogue, publishers’ catalogues and other sources.
