RLST 152 PO - Ritual and Magic in Children’s Literature
Many children’s stories describe a passage from immaturity to individuality and responsibility, and facilitate such a passage in their readers. We study this pattern in works by Burnett, Barrie, Rowling, Babbit, Lewis, Tolkien, and Le Guin, with a focus on the role of ritual and magic. Our purpose is to arrive at a critical awareness of how the stories work, and to speculate on the residue they leave on our religious sense and hermeneutics. CWS.
