Description
Trace: The track made by the passage of any person or thing. To follow Perry Nodelman as editor of a journal is at once a humbling and an exhilarating experience. Nodelman's influential presence in the criticism of young people's texts is well known: from his detailed demonstration of the varieties of ironic relations between words and pictures in picture books (Words About Pictures) to his evolving statements of the characteristics of children's literature as a genre (The Pleasures of Children's Literature) to his recent argument that children's literature simultaneously protects children from adult knowledge and works to teach it to them (The Hidden Adult), Nodelman has produced a body of important and compelling work, which any critic entering the field needs to take into account. The colloquial, conversational voice that he adopts in much of his academic writing has become a signature style, a style that encourages and, indeed, often provokes, debate. It is a style that he also employed as editor of CCL/LCJ in the years since its arrival at the University of Winnipeg. Many of the scholars and critics who have published in the journal since 2004 have written to express their appreciation for his incisive and extensive commentary on early versions of their articles. Editors following Nodelman's tracks inevitably must ask themselves whether they are up to the mark.
