Contemporary young adult literature is a relatively new genre. This guide provides an overview of the burgeoning field, focusing primarily on fiction. Each of the 32 chapters is devoted to a theme of special significance to young adults, and provides brief critical discussions of several related literary works. Chapters close with lists of fiction for further reading. An appendix groups works according to additional themes, and a selected bibliography cites relevant critical studies.
Alice Trupe is Director of the Writing Center and Associate Professor of English at Bridgewater College, in Virginia. Her wide-ranging interests include Shakespeare, 19th-century novels, poetry, and American history.
