Posted in
Deadline date: 
15 Mar 2010

This is a call for papers for a panel that will be at the Modern Language Association’s convention (January 6-9, 2011) in Los Angeles.

From the turn of the twentieth century’s reverence for nostalgia to contemporary criticism’s concern with the way it distorts, nostalgia has been a central part of children’s literature and theory. Is nostalgia critically productive? To what ends does nostalgia work? Papers examining nostalgia’s role in criticism or using nostalgia as the theoretical lens through which to read specific works of children's literature from any era are welcome.
