Firstly, this course focuses on the delineation of the field of study itself. It tries to answer the question concerning the origins and qualities typical of literary works classified as children’s literature. Secondly, it introduces students to history and individual genres of children’s literature written in English, so that they are equipped with basic elements they can further use for literary analysis of selected texts. Thirdly, it intends to lead the students towards reading books for children and young adults in the original and possibly use parts of texts while teaching.
