Abstract:

In the nineteenth century, as society in Victorian Britain adjusted to the effects of urbanization and industrialization, social roles began to shift, changes that were reflected in the children’s book illustrations of Randolph Caldecott, Henry J. Ford, and Beatrix Potter. This time period was considered the golden age of children’s book illustrations due to a large boom in both number and quality available. These children’s books illustrators had a lasting impact on culture and aesthetics and reinforced the social constructions of the new urban middle class. Randolph Caldecott’s illustrations

Abstract:

The paper considers ways to combine multimedia technologies with children's book illustration, namely: - animation of illustrations or its parts; - sound effects that are activated when interacting with the illustration; - integration of AR-technologies; - adding mini-games to book applications. It was found that the inclusion of interactive technologies can be used to create new art forms, encourage learning or draw the attention of the readers to existing works of literature through a new, interactive form. It is established that children's illustration under the influence of design trends a

Abstract:

This thesis examines the book in the nineteenth century by way of an unusual corpus: movable and novelty books for children, drawn from the Opie Collection of Children’s Literature at the Bodleian Library. It argues that these items, which have been either ignored or actively dismissed by scholars of children’s literature, are of two-fold significance for the history of the book: they encourage a sense of the book as a constitutively (rather than an incidentally) material object, and they demand an understanding of reading as not just a mental activity, but a physical one as well.

Abstract:

This study examines the portrayal of gender in Australian Children’s Book Council award and honour books in the Younger Reader and Older Reader categories over the years 1981-1993. Its purpose is to discover whether the books portray females and males in equally positive ways, which both reflect their changing roles in our society and provide models for gender construction to young readers. This is done by means of a qualitative analysis of the text from selected books, supported by a quantitative analysis in the form of frequency counts of gender representations.

Abstract:

This thesis examines adaptations of Thomas Malory’s 'Morte Darthur' produced for children between 1862 and 1960. It aims to interrogate the complex link between children and the Arthurian legend that has existed since J. T. Knowles’s first adaptation for a juvenile audience in 1862, and which remains strong today. By comparing authors’ alterations to their medieval source, I explore the ‘child’ as a discursive construct, as a mutable and protean category that is equally revelatory of assumptions about adult identity as about childhood itself. Tracing adaptations of the 'Morte' chronologically,

The subjective aspect of urban experience, and urban imaginaries in particular, have not been addressed sufficiently in studies of children in the city. This thesis will address these imaginative and subjective issues as they play significant roles in the construction of children’s urban lives. By referring to a set of short fictional stories that were produced by children as part of a series of workshops titled ‘The Great Book of the City’, the thesis approaches the city as a book made of interweaved stories, and thereby contests the idea that the city is mainly constituted by physical struct

Abstract:

The study investigated the nature of the portrayal of aged characters in children's novels which won Children's Book Council of Australia's awards in the period from 1946 to 1985. By means of content analysis, the demographic, personal and behavioural characteristics of aged characters were identified on a thirty-four item checklist. From these characteristics a portrayal score was derived to represent the extent of variation in the depiction of aged characters in the novels examined. Analysis of variance tests indicated that the level of variation in portrayal scores was significantly related

Abstract:

The thesis is about picture books and how children read them, and is divided into three parts. In part one I identify a striking parallel between certain exemplary contemporary picture books and the tendency within adult fiction known as postmodernism or metafiction. I enlarge upon this analogy and attempt to establish a tentative taxonomy of metafictive picture books. Part one concludes with an account of an early attempt at exploring how young children read such texts, and with the establishing of the core questions of the thesis: i.e. what is the relation of the metafictive picture book to

Abstract:

No text stands on its own. Indeed, no text has meaning alone because all texts have meaning in relation to one another and to the context in which they are produced. Therefore, each text is linked to others in many different ways, which can either be obvious, because of literary conventions, such as genre or shared themes for example, or these connections can be made by the readers themselves, because the process of reading itself implies moving between texts. However, not only reading but also writing are not linked to one text only, but they imply a link between texts and a movement from one

Despite the recognized importance of Anna Letitia Barbauld, Maria Edgeworth, and Charlotte Smith as commentators on 1790s radicalism, pedagogy, and novel conventions, their writings for children and for adults tend to be studied separately.

I argue that studying these authors' cross-generic works using a comparative approach reveals the ways in which novels and children's books have informed and influenced each other, both in their reciprocal developments and as distinct genres.

Abstract:

Augmented Reality (AR) is a recent technology that allows a seamless composition between virtual objects and the real world. This practice-based research uses the affordances of AR to design an AR textbook for collaborative learning experience. It identifies the key concepts of children s AR textbooks for the designing and evaluation of collaborative learning experiences. These concepts were used to develop a conceptual framework for the AR textbook that considers collaborative experience, learning and usability. Informed by these concepts, the research also has identified the design features

Abstract:

For my Senior project as a Fine Arts Major at Scripps College, I spent the fall semester exploring the history and possibility of the digital and analog artist book form. After going through a number of foundational changes, my project concept was eventually grounded in the form of a web-based hypertext artist book. Based on my pre-existing interest in storytelling and my previous study of mental immersion in possible worlds, I started the process by compiling an artistic representation of what it means to be a young girl discovering the possibilities for creation and empowerment available to

Abstract:

Nel corso della mia tesi ho cercato, tramite l'analisi di due dei più importanti romanzi di Antonia Susan Byatt – 'Possession. A Romance' (1990) e 'The Children's Book' (2009) – di analizzare l'uso che l'autrice inglese fa, nel panorama letterario contemporaneo, del genere del romanzo storico. In particolare, ho tentato di mostrare come una profonda conoscenza della Storia sia fondamentale affinché l'individuo possa raggiungere una completa cognizione del proprio Io. Quest'Io è, infatti, determinato sia dalla Storia (quella presente, in cui l'individuo vive, e passata, da cui quella presente d

Abstract:

The current study explores the frequency and types of passive voice constructions found in children’s literature as compared to child directed speech (CDS). Research studies indicate that children learn to understand and produce passive voice relatively late in the language acquisition process, which some researchers attribute to the scarcity of passive voice in CDS. This study expands current knowledge of passive voice input by adding another source, children’s literature, because several studies have demonstrated that children’s books may serve as enriched sources of input for academic langu

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>This study is an examination of one of Australia’s most prestigious and influential literary prizes: the Children’s Book Council of Australia Book of the Year Award. It aims to clarify the reasons the award was part of the brief when the Children’s Book Council was created in 1945, and to determine the extent to which the award’s subsequent development has continued to meet its stated objectives. The study focuses on a single category: that of Older Readers. To be eligible for judging in this category, entries must be: 'outstanding books of fi
