Contents:

Introduction -- De-constructing Dahl through criticism -- De-constructing Dahl's children's and adult books -- De-constructing Dahl through paratexts -- Epilogue.

Summary: This is the first single-authored monograph on Roald Dahl since 1994. Remarkably, in spite of Dahl's commercial success, and the divided opinions he generates, very little scholarly work on the author has been produced. In the light of social cultural constructivist theory, De-constructing Dahl focuses on the critical context, the texts and the paratexts that make up the packaging of "Dahl." It offers the first thorough overview of the criticism and the language employed to discuss Dahl since the 1970s, the difficulties that using such language entails, and how it still permeates current criti.
