 | A Critical History of French Children's Literature: Volume Two: 1830-Present This two-volume critical history of French children's literature from 1600 to the present helps bring awareness of the range, quality, and importance of French children's literature to a wider audience. The works of a number of French writers, notably La Fontaine, Charles Perrault, Jules Verne, and Saint-Exupéry were, and continue to be, widely translated and adapted, and have influenced the development of the genre in other countries. Penny Brown is Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literary Studies at the University of Manchester, U.K., and is also author of The Poison at the Source and The Captured World. |
