Course Overview

You'll learn through a blend of digital learning, including online talks, lectures, and readings by authors such as Philip Pullman, Katherine Rundell, Michael Morpurgo, Naomi Shihab Nye, and others, and on-campus learning, such as lectures, seminars, and tutorials). You will explore how children's literature has developed since the nineteenth century into an exciting, imaginative, contemporary mix of genres, including the historical and adventure novel, graphic literature, fantasy and sci-fi, drama, poetry, picturebooks, film, theatre, and digital 'imagineering,' etc.

You will develop high-level skills in inquiry & critical appraisal and pursue your author & genre-focused interests through a range of written assessments and produce your creative writing portfolio.

You will read widely throughout the course – pre-course reading lists encourage you to dip your toes into the vast landscape of children's and young adult literature. Through close studies of chosen books, you will interrogate the relationship/s between authors, illustrators, readers, texts, and contexts.
