Description: Picturing the Wolf in Children's Literature by Debra Mitts-Smith Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Looking at myths, legends, fables, folk and fairy tales, fractured tales, fictional stories, and nonfiction from 1500 to the present, the author identifies and analyzes the cultural, social, and scientific knowledge embedded in and imparted through the image of the wolf in over 250 books. Publisher Description From the villainous beast of "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs," to the nurturing wolves of Romulus and Remus and Rudyard Kiplings The Jungle Book, the wolf has long been a part of the landscape of childrens literature. Meanwhile, since the 1960s and the popularization of scientific research on these animals, childrens books have begun to feature more nuanced views. In Picturing the Wolf in Childrens Literature, Mitts-Smith analyzes visual images of the wolf in childrens books published in Western Europe and North America from 1500 to the present. In particular, she considers how wolves are depicted in and across particular works, the values and attitudes that inform these depictions, and how the concept of the wolf has changed over time. What she discovers is that illustrations and photos in works for children impart social, cultural, and scientific information not only about wolves, but also about humans and human behavior. First encountered in childhood, picture books act as a training ground where the young learn both how to decode the "symbolic" wolf across various contexts and how to make sense of "real" wolves.Mitts-Smith studies sources including myths, legends, fables, folk and fairy tales, fractured tales, fictional stories, and nonfiction, highlighting those instances in which images play a major role, including illustrated anthologies, chapbooks, picture books, and informational books. This book will be of interest to childrens literature scholars, as well as those interested in the figure of the wolf and how it has been informed over time. Author Biography Debra Mitts-Smith teaches childrens and young adult literature at the University of Illinois. She has Masters degrees in French and Library and Information Science and a PhD from the University of Illinois. Her publications include articles in Princeton University Library Chronicle and Library Trends, and a book chapter in From Colonialism to the Contemporary: Intertextual Transformation in World Childrens and Youth Literature.
