Children's Literature in Italy : a website devoted to the study of children's books and literature in Italy

This website stems from the work of a group of Italian scholars and friends who have been addressing the subject of children's literature from within the field of English Studies, albeit from a wide range of methodological perspectives (cultural and gender studies, visual studies, film studies). Our work in the field, which besides publications includes research projects, courses taught at undergraduate and graduate level and dissertations, is documented by this website. The aim of Children's Literature in Italyis to provide information to scholars, teachers and readers, to encourage research and to grant visibility to our subject within the area of Literary and Cultural Studies in English, while also bringing to the foreground recent research in Italy in the field of "Letteratura per l'infanzia e per ragazzi".
