“Imagined Futures” was the theme for the 2017 Children’s Literature Association conference. I presented “When Beauty and the Beast Read Latin and Greek: Reading the Past Toward the Future in Robin McKinley’s Beauty, Donna Jo Napoli’s Beast, and Jennifer Donnelly’s Lost in a Book.” (Click on the paper title for a PDF of the talk.) When I submitted my abstract for the conference, I mentioned only McKinley and Napoli’s novels, but I ended up treating Donnelly’s as well, so I’ve altered the title to include it formally here.
