Publisher Description

Drawing on a cognitive poetics approach to reception studies, this volume examines the use of spatial metaphors - palimpsest, map, and fractal - to organize the classical past for preteen and adolescent readers, arguing that these reflect different modes in children's literature and encourage different cognitive effects in readers.
