International Research in Children's Literature (IRCL)

International Research in Children’s Literature is the journal of the International Research Society for Children's Literature. Starting in 2008, the journal will be published by Edinburgh University Press, which publishes a wide range of high-ranking journals in the humanities and social sciences. Reflecting the aims of IRSCL, the journal is international in scope, and aims to become indispensable reading for scholars working in this rapidly-expanding subject area.
