"Using various critical approaches and disciplines, 20 contributors examine the representation of children in literature from the Renaissance to the present. The essays cover problems in imitation of speech and dialect, uses of narrative voice, creative development of child writers, and shifting cultural conceptions of childhood, illustrating the way children's voices have often been mediated, modified, or appropriated by adult writers." -- Book News, Inc.
