Young adult literature has grown from its beginnings in the 1960s to become not only one of the most popular forms of literature in the United States, but also a major cultural influencer with spin-offs of serial novels such as Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, and Twilight. Popular young adult literature like these have dominated cinema, and even extended into theme parks, Broadway musicals, and travel tourism. Furthermore, classes in young adult literature are now taught at universities across North America and Europe, and young adult texts have been regularly chosen as common reading at numerous universities. Young adult literature is a juggernaut whose reach extends far past its adolescent readers.The Oxford Handbook of Young Adult Literature is the most comprehensive examination of young adult literature to date and features 39 essays that range from literary criticism to empirical studies and methodological essays. These essays cover the history of the genre and discussions around major subgenres, but also cover more focused subjects such as trauma, ecocriticism, and young adult literature related to oft-marginalized groups like African Americans, Indigenous groups, Arabic LGBTQ people, and individuals with disabilities. This Handbook reaches beyond the text as well by examining fanfiction, censorship, and young adult literature in the classroom.With its rich history and promising future, young adult literature is more relevant than ever. The Oxford Handbook of Young Adult Literature offers a valuable and in-depth understanding of this genre.

Recognizing the determination of a canon as an ongoing process of discussion and debate, which helps us to better understand the concept of meaningful and important literature, this edited collection turns a critical spotlight on young adult literature (YAL) to explore some of the most read, taught, and discussed books of our time. By considering the unique criteria which might underpin the classification of a YAL canon, this text raises critical questions of what it means to define canonicity and designate certain books as belonging to the YAL canon. Moving beyond ideas of what is taught or featured in textbooks, the volume emphasizes the role of adolescents’ choice, the influence of popular culture, and above all the multiplicity of ways in which literature might be interpreted and reflected in the lives of young readers. Chapters examine an array of texts through varied critical lenses, offer detailed literary analyses and divergent interpretations, and consider how themes might be explored in pedagogical contexts. By articulating the ways in which teachers and young readers may have traditionally interpreted YAL, this volume will extend debate on canonicity and counter dominant narratives that posit YAL texts as undeserving of canonical status.This text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, professionals, and libraries in the field of young adult literature, fiction literacy, children’s literacy and feminist studies.

This edited collection will turn a critical spotlight on the set of texts that has constituted the high school canon of literature for decades. By employing a set of fresh, vibrant critical lenses—such as youth studies and disabilities studies— that are often unfamiliar to advanced students and scholars of secondary English, this book provides divergent approaches to traditional readings and pedagogical practices surrounding these familiar works. By introducing and applying these interpretive frames to the field of secondary English education, this book demonstrates that there is more to say about these texts, ways to productively problematize them, and to reconfigure how they may be read and used in the classroom.

In the last decade alone, the world has changed in seismic ways as marriage equality has been ruled on by the supreme court, social justice issues such as #metoo and BlackLivesMatter have arisen, and issues of immigration and deportation have come to the forefront of politics across the globe. Thus, there is a need for an updated text that shares strategies for combining canonical and young adult literature that reflects the changes society has – and continues to - experience. The purpose of our collection is to offer secondary (6-12) teachers engaging ideas and approaches for pairing young adult and canonical novels to provide unique examinations of topics that teaching either text in isolation could not afford. Our collection does not center canonical texts and most chapters show how both texts complement each other rather than the young adult text being only an extension of the canonical. Within each volume, the chapters are organized chronologically according to the publication date of the canonical text. The pairings offered in this collection allow for comparisons in some cases, for extensions in others, and for critique in all.
