Comedy in Children's Literature - ENGL709
By focusing on some of the principal types of comic effect in texts produced for children – the ludicrous and the ridiculous; carnivalesque, iconoclasm and parody; zanyism; comic violence; transgressiveness – this unit examines how texts teach, reproduce and reflect notions of the comic, and construct social functions for the comic. Students will produce their own research-based work that examines how literary texts for children utilise and advance these different comical aspects.
