Deleuze in Children's Literature: book release

Dr. Jane Newland's new study invites contemporary French philosopher, Gilles Deleuze, into the genre of children's literature and explores how Deleuzian concepts can enhance our readings of this literature whose implied readership masks much paradox. Jane Newland focuses on the children texts written by authors who fascinate Deleuze, including Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, André Dhôtel, J-M G Le Clézio and Michel Tournier. With chapters on pure repetition, becoming, cartographies, stuttering and nonsense, Jane Newland demonstrates how these concepts, central to Deleuzian philosophy, can invigorate our readings of children's literature.
