Modern American Poetry
This collection of essays on the general topic of mystery in children's literature covers a wide variety of issues. The contributors are based in the US, the UK, and Australia and focus on English-language (or translated) texts, some for younger children, some for teens. The editors point out that the word "mystery" is more narrowly associated with detective fiction in US usage than elsewhere. Some of the essays do consider that meaning, especially in connection with the Nancy Drew series--along those lines, Troy Boone draws interesting parallels among Nancy Drew, the 1920s Girl Scout Handbook, and Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, Detective. Using the wider meaning, Valerie Krips considers how Philippa Pearce involves child characters in mysteries of the past in ways that confirm Pierre Nora's ideas about the breakdown of collective memory. Even more theoretically, John Stephens and Robyn McCallum discuss the "horror chronotope" in Australian children's fiction, seeing too little Australian content. There are other interesting essays as well, too many to mention here--
