Other Areas of Children’s Literature Criticism

In this final chapter, some consideration will be given to areas which have so far been given little or no attention: the adaptation of written text to other media, new and old, together with the link this process has with the commodification of children’s literature; the interrelated aspects of science and technology, together with the increasing involvement of young people in the process of production of literature; and religion, spirituality and ecocriticism, a grouping which embraces concern, perhaps most deeply felt by young people, about the future of our planet.
