Overview

From the trials of families experiencing divorce, as in Anne Fineā€™s Madame Doubtfire, to the childcare problems highlighted in Jacqueline Wilsonā€™s Tracy Beaker, it might seem that the traditional family and the ideals that accompany it have long vanished. However, in The Family in English Childrenā€™s Literature, Ann Alston argues that this is far from the case. She suggests that despite the tales of family woe portrayed in childrenā€™s literature, the desire for the happy, contented nuclear family remains inherent within the ideological subtexts of childrenā€™s literature. Using 1818 as a starting point, Alston investigates families in childrenā€™s literature at their most intimate, focusing on how they share their spaces, their ideals of home, and even on what they eat for dinner. What emerges from Alstonā€™s study are not so much the contrasts that exist between periods, but rather the startling similarities of the ideology of family intrinsic to childrenā€™s literature. The Family in English Childrenā€™s Literature sheds light on who maintains control, who behaves, and how significant childrenā€™s literature is in shaping our ideas about what makes a family "good."
