Children's Literature
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of children’s literature in Korea. It highlights key moments in Korea’s transition from Japanese colony to the post-liberation, post-division era. I argue that children’s literature makes visible the ideological and educational visions held by writers of different political convictions. I am interested in what adult writers thought children should know and feel and bring out the diversity of textual forms that communicated different writers’ goals.
