Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,8 (A-), University of Hannover (English Seminar), 68 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: A discussion of children's literature as a topic of a research paper suggests the treatment of something new, a matter rather unexplored, or at least not as exhausted as most as-pects of the quite popular area of children's literature tend to be with respect to student's papers in English literature. 'Something new' would imply a book recently published, considering that a new publication is not likely to be exhausted by studies. This would also call for a discussion of the readership, as time changes very fast today and people change with time, so that children living around the turn of the millennium may 'need' and expect different things than children of the past. In fact, the present situation for children's literature is a subject of particular concern, for technological development has influenced the matter of reading to a large extent and voices become audible that fear a decline of reading culture especially with reference to children and youths. This changed reading situation will be the starting point of my paper.
