This study invites Deleuze into the genre of children's literature and explores how Deleuzian concepts can enhance our readings of this literature whose implied readership masks much paradox. In Deleuze in Children's Literature, Jane Newland focuses on the children's texts written by some of the authors who fascinate Deleuze, including Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, Andre Dhotel, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio and Michel Tournier: authors who recur across Deleuze's work and shape his literary writings. With chapters on pure repetition, becoming, cartographies, stuttering and nonsense, Newland demonstrates how these concepts, central to Deleuzian philosophy, can invigorate readings of children's literature. Deleuze in Children's Literature brings together Deleuzian thought and contemporary scholarship in children's literature to provide a novel and timely insight into readings of children's literature in the twenty-first century.

Newland follows Deleuze down the rabbit hole of children’s literature, exploring the bizarre repetitions of Eugene Ionesco; the ritournelles of Pierrette Fleutiaux; the becoming-animal and becoming-molecular of Virginia Woolf; the becoming-plant of J. M. Gustave Le Clézio; a world out of time in Michel Tournier; and language from stutter, to howl, to (non)sense, to the zeroth voice in Lewis Carroll and James Joyce. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.
