Lisa Tetzner Lectures: Lena Hoffmann

In this talk, Lena Hoffmann shines a light on Blyton’s self-representation as an author for children that shows narratives and strategies that can be understood as ways of self-representations of authors for children’s and young adult literature. Strategies of Blyton’s self-representation reveal rules of discourse and criteria of literary criticism that highlight the characteristics of the field of children’s and young adult literature.
