Out Now: Special issue on Laura E. Richards`s children`s poems

We are delighted to announce the publication of EJAS's special issue on Laura E. Richards`s children`s poems and the poetics of nineteenth-century American nonsense, co-edited by Etti Gordon Ginzburg and Verena Laschinger. The research presented in this issue is foundational, expanding the scholarship on Richards tenfold.

The inclusion of translations—a distinctive feature of this special issue—further offers a unique opportunity to introduce the American writer and her works to new and broader audiences. It is uncommon to see children's literature explored in a journal like EJAS and beyond the somewhat specialized realm of children's literature studies. Richards now finds herself in esteemed and diverse "adult" company, further highlighting her versatility and significance. Special issue
