Young adult fiction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Young-Adult Novel) Jump to navigationJump to search "Juvenile fiction" redirects here. For children's fiction, see children's literature. Young adult fiction (YA) is a category of fiction written for readers from 12 to 18 years of age.[1][2] While the genre is targeted to adolescents, approximately half of YA readers are adults.[3] The subject matter and genres of YA correlate with the age and experience of the protagonist. The genres available in YA are expansive and include most of those found in adult fiction. Common themes related to YA include friendship, first love, relationships, and identity.[4] Stories that focus on the specific challenges of youth are sometimes referred to as problem novels or coming-of-age novels.[5] Young adult fiction was developed to soften the transition between children's novels and adult literature.[6] Contents 1 History 1.1 Beginning 1.2 20th century 1.3 21st century 2 Themes 3 Genre 3.1 New adult fiction 3.2 Problem novels 3.3 Boundaries between children's, young adult, and adult fiction 4 Uses in the classroom 5 Diversity 6 Criticism 7 Awards 8 See also 9 Notes 10 References 11 External links History Beginning Title page from Sarah Trimmer's The Guardian of Education, vol. |, 1802 The history of young adult literature is tied to the history of how childhood and young adulthood has been perceived. One early writer to recognize young adults as a distinct group was Sarah Trimmer, who, in 1802, described "young adulthood” as lasting from ages 14 to 21.[7] In her children's literature periodical, The Guardian of Education, Trimmer introduced the terms "Books for Children" (for those under fourteen) and "Books for Young Persons" (for those between fourteen and twenty-one), establishing terms of reference for young adult literature that still remain in use.[7] Nineteenth and early twentieth century authors present several early works that appealed to young readers,[8] though not necessarily written for them such as Lewis Carroll, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, Francis Hodgson Burnett, Edith Nesbit, JM Barrie, L. Frank Baum, Astrid Lindgren, Enid Blyton, CS Lewis.[9] 20th century In the 1950s, The Catcher in the Rye (1951), attracted the attention of the adolescent demographic although it was written for adults. The themes of adolescent angst and alienation in the novel have become synonymous with young adult literature.[7] The modern classification of young-adult fiction originated during the 1960s, after the publication of S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders (1967). The novel features a truer, darker side of adolescent life that was not often represented in works of fiction of the time, and was the first novel published specifically marketed for young adults as Hinton was one when she wrote it.[10][11] Written during high school and published when Hinton was only 16,[12] The Outsiders also lacked the nostalgic tone common in books about adolescents written by adults.[13] The Outsiders remains one of the best-selling young adult novels of all time.[13] The genre originally faced criticism, as some viewed it as a marketing scheme,[37] while others claimed the readership was not there to publish the material.[38] In contrast, others claimed the term was necessary; a publicist for HarperCollins described it as "a convenient label because it allows parents and bookstores and interested readers to know what is inside". [39] Examples of books in the new adult genre include Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of Glass, Jennifer L. Armentrout's Wait For You, Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster, [40] Colleen Hoover's Slammed, [41] Cora Carmack's Losing It,[42] Kendall Ryan's The Impact of You[43] and Casey McQuiston's Red, White €. Royal Blue.[44] Problem novels See also: Social novel "Social-problem” novels or problem novels are a sub-genre of literature focusing and commenting on overarching social problems.[45] They are typically a type of realistic fiction that characteristically depict contemporary issues such as poverty, drugs, and pregnancy.[46] Published in 1967, S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders is often credited as the first problem novel.[47][48] Following this release, problem novels were popularized and dominated during the 1970s. [citation needed] Sheila Egoff described three reasons why problem novels resonate with adolescents:[49] They depict real situations that the readers are experiencing so they have "therapeutic value” They are interesting, new and foreign to those not experiencing these issues, They feature mature story lines which appeal to a child's desire to grow up. A classic example of a problem novel and one that defined the sub-genre is Go Ask Alice by Anonymous (pseudonym for Beatrice Sparks) published in 1971. Go Ask Alice is written in first- person as the diary of a young girl who experiences a lot of problems while growing up. In order to cope with her problems, the protagonist begins experimenting with drugs. Modern examples of problem novels include Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Crank by Ellen Hopkins, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.[50] Boundaries between children's, young adult, and adult fiction The distinctions among children's literature, young adult literature, and adult literature have historically been flexible and loosely defined. This line is often policed by adults who feel strongly about the border.[51] At the lower end of the age spectrum, fiction targeted to readers age 8-12 is referred to as middle-grade fiction. Some novels originally marketed to adults are of interest and value to adolescents, and vice versa, as in the case of books such as the Harry Potter series of novels.[52] Some examples of middle grade novels and novel series include the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan, The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. Some examples of young adult novels and novel series include the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, and the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Middle grade novels are typically for the ages of 8-12. They tend to have an ATOS level of 5.0 or below, have a smaller word count, and are significantly less mature and complex in theme and content than YA, NA, or adult fiction. Young adult novels are for the ages of 12-18. They tend to have an ATOS level of 5.0 or above, have a larger word count, and tackle more mature and adult themes and content. Middle grade novels usually feature protagonists under the age of 13, whereas young adult novels usually feature protagonists within the age range of 12-18.[53] Uses in the classroom Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books YA has been integrated into classrooms to increase student interest in reading. There is a common misconception that YA lit is solely for "struggling" or "reluctant" readers and should be reserved for remedial classes. Studies have shown that YA can be beneficial in classroom settings. [54] YA fiction is written for young adults and so it is often more relevant to students' social and emotional needs than is classic literature.[55] Use of YA in classrooms is linked to:[56] higher levels of engagement and motivation among students increased levels of self-confidence, personal development and self-identification increased desire to read similar books Students who read YA are more likely to appreciate literature and have stronger reading skills than others.[55] YA also allows teachers to talk about "taboo" or difficult topics with their students. For example, a 2014 study shows that using Laurie Halse Anderson's novel Speak aided in discussions on consent and complicity. Those who read about tough situations like date rape are more emotionally prepared to handle the situation if it arises.[56] It is important to use diverse literature in the classroom, especially in discussing taboo topics, to avoid excluding minority students.[56] Literature written for young adults can also be used as a stepping stone to canonical works that are traditionally read in classrooms, and required by many school curriculums. In Building a Culture of Readers: YA Literature and the Canon by Kara Lycke, Lycke suggests pairing young adult literature and canon works to prepare young adults to understand the classic literature they will encounter.[57] YA can provide familiar and less alienating examples of similar concepts than those in classic literature.[55] Suggested pairings include Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series with the lliad or the Odyssey, or Stephenie Meyer's Twilight with Wuthering Heights. When discussing identity, Lycke suggests pairing Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter with Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian.[57] Diversity Main article: Diversity in young adult fiction English language young adult fiction and children's literature in general have historically shown a lack of books with a main character who is a person of color, LGBT, or disabled.[58] In the UK 90% of the best-selling YA titles from 2006 to 2016 featured white, able-bodied, cis-gendered, and heterosexual main characters.[59] The numbers of children's book authors have shown a similar lack of diversity.[60] Between 2006-2016, eight percent of all young adult authors published in the UK were people of color.[59] Diversity is considered beneficial since it encourages children of diverse backgrounds to read and it teaches children of all backgrounds an accurate view of the world around them.[61][failed verification] Inthe mid-2010s, more attention was drawn to this problem from various quarters.[62] In the several years following, diversity numbers seem to have improved: One survey showed that in 2017, a quarter of children's books were about minority protagonists, almost a 10% increase from 2016.[60] Criticism Criticism has been put forth against YA fiction for being heavily commercialized, and marketed and reinforced by capitalist institutions such as Hollywood, the media and a publishing industry lacking diversity. [citation needed] Book reviewer Laura Miller cites one publisher of YA novels as being akin to a factory.[63] Others have critiqued commercial YA novels and franchises for implicitly promoting capitalism and reactionary ideologies even when the books may seem progressive. Ewan Morrison says: "The dystopian narratives which are currently consuming the minds of millions of teens worldwide are now communicating right-wing ideas."[64] Andrew O'Hehir, describing commercial YA novels, wrote: "They are propaganda for the ethos of individualism, the central ideology of consumer capitalism, which also undergirds both major political parties and almost all American public discourse.[65] Risku, Johanna.
