It offers a completely new way of reading children?s Gothic that counters the dominant critical positions in both Gothic Studies and children?s literature criticism. This book contends that the Gothic, as it is repurposed in children?s fiction, is a creative force through which to imagine positive self-transformation. It rejects the pedagogical model of children?s literature criticism, which analyses and assess works based on what or how they teach the child, and instead draws on the theories of Deleuze and Guattari, Rosi Braidotti and Benedict Spinoza to develop the theme of ?nomadic subjectivity?
