In this endeavor, a brief historical commentary adds to the analysis of the market economics behind the genre’s circulation, from the 1960s boom (coinciding with the development of a type of literature that could more easily navigate censorship, but which was also more easily instrumentalized ideologically) to the 2010s boom (driven by Arthur Publishing and the debut of Romanian authors in children literature influenced by the massive volume of translations from the second decade of the 2000s). The paper includes an analysis of the evolution of animal studies in global children’s literature. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Caietele Echinox is the property of Echinox Cultural Foundation and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
