Narrating as a Child, Reading as an Adult: Ways of Employing Child Narrator in American Novel.
Original language description
The article provides a brief overview of the research in childhood studies in context of American culture and literature. In the history of American literature, the connection between the figure of a child, the trope of innocence and the American character or identity has often been made resulting in a rather frequent employment of children as literary characters. The article thus focuses on a very specific aspect of the literary presentation of childhood - on the use of child's voice or perspective asa narrative strategy, discussing child perspective both as a narrative technique and as a way of subverting traditional "adult" views on many issues. Outlining some of the narrative theory concerning the child narrative voice, the paper refers to examples from American fiction to illustrate its points.
