Reading children’s literature in the Anthropocene: the representation of ‘nature’ in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea fiction

Picturebooks and reader training in the 21st century. An ecocritical reading of canonical works of children’s literature

“…The volume by Goga et al (2018) is a central work of ecocritical literary analysis because it updates the field, brings together a range of perspectives and offers researchers the "Nature in Culture Matrix" (p. 12) as a tool for the analysis of children's books. Other recent studies (e.g., Guanio-Uluru, 2021;Campagnaro and Goga, 2022;Doherty, 2022) are a testament to the remarkable presence of ecocriticism in research on children's literature and propose a variety of approaches in this regard.…”
