Rulers of Literary Playgrounds: Politics of Intergenerational Play in Children's Literature delves into the intricate interplay between children and adults as they engage in play within literary texts and in real-life contexts. This comprehensive volume brings together esteemed international scholars of children's literature, each of whom examines children's texts as vital platforms for intergenerational play, reflecting ideologies of childhood and serving as interactive objects between children and adults. Each chapter employs a distinct theoretical framework to analyze selected children's literature, encompassing diverse forms of play such as individual, social, constructive, and play deprivation. Collectively, these essays constitute a timely and influential contribution to the ongoing discourse about the significance of children's play and the vital role of adults in fostering and supporting it amidst the evolving constraints on children's leisure time in contemporary societies.
