HOGWARTS AND ALL - GREGORY G PEPETONE KARTONIER...

Hogwarts and All explores modern children's literature from its origins in the
nineteenth-century cult of childhood  a cultural movement inseparable from Christian theology.
From the Kunstmärchen (adult fairy tales) of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century
German romanticism through Charles Dickens  J. R. R. Tolkien  and J. K. Rowling  this genre 
like all gothic arts  has served as an alternative cultural perspective to that of scientific
materialism. Its benignly subversive message is that a civilization that abandons its
commitment to the childlike values of wonder  trust  sacrificial love  spontaneity 
vulnerability  and faith in radical possibilities for peace  social justice  and human
happiness - all qualities endorsed by Ray Bradbury  Susan Cooper  Madeleine L'Engle  and other
authors discussed in this volume - is a civilization at risk.
