BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF CRITICAL STUDIES
IN CHILDREN'S AND YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE
based on units taught at La Trobe University, Bendigo

These lists are of titles available through the Heyward Library (Bendigo campus library) and are based on the themes and topics considered in the Children's Literature courses taught at Bendigo.  Details of these courses may be found in here.

These lists are neither comprehensive nor exclusive, but merely an introductory guide.  There is much, much more scholarship on the themes available for they who seek, especially by using the Library's catalogue and the indexes and databases. Other excellent online resources (also accessible through the Library Subject Guide for Children's Literature) include Perry Nodelman's Bibliography of Children's Literature Criticism, and Kay Vandergrift's Special Interest pages.
