NCRCL Conference: Children’s Literature and the Inner World

BOOKINGS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2ND NCRCL CONFERENCE

‘Children’s Literature and the Inner World’

Saturday 12 May 2012, University of Roehampton, London

If, according to David Lodge, literature is a record of human consciousness, then children’s literature can potentially offer fascinating perspectives on the interior lives of children and young people. This conference will explore relationships between imaginative writing and the workings of the mind. It is a chance to examine how authors and readers approach the troubling question of how we can know what goes on within other people’s heads, especially when those other people are children.

Confirmed plenary session speakers are: Philip Gross (University of Glamorgan); Farah Mendlesohn (Middlesex University); David Rudd (University of Bolton); and Alison Waller (University of Roehampton)

Bookings need to be made online. Please follow this link http://estore.roehampton.ac.uk/browse/product.asp?catid=74&modid=2&compid=1. You can find the programme and workshops under the tab entitled “More information.”
