Side by Side: US Empire, Puerto Rico, and the Roots of American Youth Literature Culture by Marilisa Jiménez García (review)

Abstract

presentation of Anne as different from other mother-figures common in children’s literature (318); other articles—by comparing Valancy to other Montgomery or fairytale heroines, for instance—address children’s literature even when talking about adult books. Because of its consideration of readerships and the diverse approaches taken to the study of gender, this collection contains many thought-provoking essays that will be useful to scholars and students of Montgomery’s works and of children’s literature.
