Literature for School: Theorising the "Child" in Talk and Text.
Austin, Helena
Language and Education, v11 n2 p77-95 1997
Presents a part of a larger study attempting to retrieve the versions of the child implicit in the everyday life of a literature classroom. Focuses on a children's novel, "Magpie Island" (Thiele, 1974), and the classroom talk about that novel. Findings reveal that the version of the child implicit in the novel and that enacted in the classroom talk are different. (19 references) (Author/CK)
