Topologies of the Classical World in Children's Fiction: Palimpsests, Maps, and Fractals - Classical Presences
Nelson, Claudia (Professor of English, Professor of English, Texas A&M University)
Drawing on a cognitive poetics approach to reception studies, this volume examines the use of spatial metaphors - palimpsest, map, and fractal - to organize the classical past for preteen and adolescent readers, arguing that these reflect different modes in children's literature and encourage different cognitive effects in readers.
