Class Description:
In this section of English 3027, we'll explore how children's literature authors use dark and tense themes to educate children. This style of fiction - sometimes called Dark Fantasy - has roots in early literature and mythology, but we'll be focusing on late nineteenth-century to contemporary fiction. Beginning with the Grimm brothers and ending with contemporary authors like Neil Gaiman, our course will inquire how these frightening tactics serve pedagogical ends, what values they encourage, and how they inform the notion of childhood. Students should expect to read primary and secondary sources. Course grades may be determined by regular participation and reading, active Moodle involvement, and course papers.
