Mormon Contributions To Young Adult Literature, Toni Pilcher
Mormon Contributions To Young Adult Literature, Toni Pilcher
Student Works
Mormon authors are making big splashes in the world of young adult (YA) literature, a relatively young genre that is targeted at readers from age 12 to age 18. Since 1967, when the American Library Association officially recognized YA literature as separate from children's books, writers and publishers have been trying to define the genre. It is, in a sense, coming of age. Generally, to be considered YA, a book has to have a teenage protagonist in situations with which a teenage reader can identify. Like literature for adults, there are a few limitations to subject and theme, but unlike …

The Law...Could Not Be Kept Here: Consecration In Nauvoo, 1840-1842, Mitchell K. Schaefer

This ideology has …

The Women Of The Bee-Hive: Depiction Of Mormon Women In Nineteenth-Century Travel Writing, Christopher Jones, Stanley Thayne
Student Works
By the time the Latter-day Saints had settled in the Great Basin, travel writing had become a major genre of American literature. During the nineteenth century, a mass-reading American public who wished to experience the exotic vicariously were consuming book-length travel narratives and articles in American periodicals at a prodigious rate. Naturally, many travel-writers making their way West to chronicle the overland passage and capitalize on the tastes of the eastern readership paused in Utah to capture in prose the strange religion and peculiar people they observed there. The Mormons thus became a subject of great interest in Western travel …
