Reviews

What has been needed is a key text that readers can depend on to give them an overview of the potential of the `affective turn' in theory - and this edited collection fills that gap. --David Rudd, Director of NCRCL, University of Roehampton, UK Within the context of children's culture, Affect, Emotion, and Children's Literature offers scholars a sophisticated synthesis of those cognitive theories involved with emotions and how they are deployed. The essays in this volume demonstrate how children and teenagers learn emotionology through the texts they experience-and even more important, these essays provide clear evidence of the important role children's literature can play in providing data for researchers interested in the connection between children, their reading, and emotional development. --Roberta Seelinger Trites, English, Illinois State University, USA
