Italian Context

One of the first authors to have dealt with disability issues in the Italian context, from a perspective centred on the imaginary, popular culture and literature was the French René-Claude Lachal (1938-2003). Some of his texts are still unknown and still represent significant analysis on this subject.

Cultural Constructions

Children's literature criticism has been enhanced by classic and recent work that considers and analyses the important roles children play in performance, but there is a gap in current scholarship on drama as children's literature. This gap concerns how the place of children – especially girls and notions of girlhood – has changed over time in texts and cultural productions around the traditions of recitation and minstrelsy.1Robin Bernstein has argued persuasively that the ‘scripts’ of a racist past inform the cultural constructions of the present and that children's material and popular culture is often its repository: ‘Sentimentalism or minstrelsy may have peaked in the lives of adults in the nineteenth century, but the popular cultures of childhood … delivered, in fragmented and distorted forms, the images, practices, and ideologies of sentimentalism and minstrelsy well into the twentieth century’ (7). This essay attempts to bridge this gap in scholarship by investigating late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Anglo-American black and white girlhood through readings of recitation pieces and playtexts, important aspects of children's literary culture, broadly conceived

Children's literature has long been dominated by the flat rectangle of the page, and more recently, of the screen. It is easy to assume that the recent flood of literary-related commodities and collectibles represents something very new. But popular culture has spawned a similar industry of multimodal materials for well over a century, and children's authors such as Beatrix Potter and L. Frank Baum mastered the art of the spin-off and the collectible in the very early days of the twentieth century. This article investigates questions about changes in children's literary culture through the lens of past, present, and future, and explores a shifting future world where texts become ever more hybrid, porous, slippery, and unfinished.
