这本书探讨了20世纪60年代和70年代的工人阶级作家如何通过他们对工人阶级生活和文化的再现，极大地重塑了英国儿童文学。艾丹·钱伯斯、艾伦·加纳和罗伯特·韦斯特尔是理查德·霍加特所称的“奖学金男孩”的典型代表：工薪阶层通过文法学校的教育走出了自己的班级。这本书强调了这些作家在改变英国儿童文学行业的出版和评论实践中所发挥的作用，同时提供了他们以奖学金男孩为主角的小说的新读物。除了借鉴雷蒙德·威廉姆斯和皮埃尔·布尔迪厄的作品，并参考社会科学和教育领域对奖学金男孩的研究，本书还探索了个人采访和以前未见过的档案材料。这本书对当时的英国儿童文学产生了重要的见解，将特别引起儿童文学和工人阶级文学以及英国流行文化领域的学者和学生的兴趣。
This book explores how working-class writers in the 1960s and 1970s significantly reshaped British children’s literature through their representations of working-class life and culture. Aidan Chambers, Alan Garner and Robert Westall were examples of what Richard Hoggart termed ‘scholarship boys’: working-class individuals who were educated out of their class through grammar school education. This book highlights the role these writers played in changing the publishing and reviewing practices of the British children's literature industry while offering new readings of their novels featuring scholarship boys. As well as drawing on the work of Raymond Williams and Pierre Bourdieu, and referring to studies of scholarship boys in the fields of social science and education, this book also explores personal interviews and previously-unseen archival materials. Yielding significant insights on British children’s literature of the period, this book will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the fields of children’s and working-class literature and of British popular culture.
