- Abstract
"Containing Childhood: Space and Identity in Children's Literature," edited by Danielle Russell, is a collection of essays that explores the relationship between space and identity in children's literature. The book addresses questions about how spaces in children's literature have changed over time, the contestation of spatial use between adults and children, and the agency of children within different environments. The collection takes a broad approach, allowing for a variety of perspectives and approaches to be included. The essays cover a range of texts, genres, and theoretical approaches, and examine both canonical and marginalized works. The book highlights the contested spaces in children's literature and emphasizes the agency of child characters. Overall, "Containing Childhood" offers a comprehensive examination of the role of space in children's literature and demonstrates the power of children to shape and navigate their own spaces.
