*Writing the Past: /Yesterday Was Once Today/*
---Erik Christian Haugaard
Children's Literature New England presents a Symposium at Vermont College of Fine Arts
<javascript:popUpSized('http://www.vcfa.edu',400,300)> in Montpelier, VT
/"History is the questions you ask of it." /
---Sarah Dunant
In the myriad ways the past is presented to young readers, including history, fiction, biography, memoir, poetry and historical fantasy, what questions are raised? For audiences with short personal histories, programmed to look forward, what is the point of looking back? How trapped are readers, young and old, in their own times? Can a novel be more authentic than an historian's account of the same period? What are the demands of writing, illustrating and reading about our own past or a time before our own? At *Writing the Past*, we will explore such concerns as authenticity, intention, credibility and narrative voice. In recreating yesterday as today, how does the writer avoid the slippery wisdom of hindsight? Most importantly, by reaching into the past what do we reveal, deliberately or inadvertently, about ourselves?
Presenters at the Symposium will include: M. T. Anderson, Susan Cooper, Sarah Ellis, Shane Evans, Jack Gantos, Katherine Paterson, Elizabeth Partridge, Neal Porter, Leda Schubert, Barbara Scotto, Brian Selznick, Robin Smith, Suzanne Fisher Staples, and Deborah Taylor.
Please join us on the campus of Vermont College of Fine Arts
<javascript:popUpSized('http://www.vcfa.edu',400,300)>, home of the first MFA program on writing for young readers, where we will grapple with these questions. We will enjoy talks, interviews, discussion groups, good conversation and the beauty of the distinctive landscape of the Green Mountains.
