Revisiting Children's Literature

Class overview 

The books we read as children meant one thing to us then, but are worth another look years later. As we read some classic children’s books, we’ll also be reading about the books:  the philosophy, psychology, sociology, history and cultural connections of the books, in addition to literary criticism and film adaptations.  Expect to do annotations, light research and bi-weekly essays. This will be a scholarly look at what seems to be a very simple subject. 

This year, we are excited to announce that Revisiting Children's Literature is now a dual-enrollment course through a partnership BUHS has with Norwich University. What this means is that students will get both BUHS and Norwich credits for the course this year. Both the BUHS and Norwich syllabi are linked below, for more detailed information.
