摘要

The article discusses authorship theory and Bourdieu’s field theory as research perspectives that allow us to describe the specifics of the field of children’s literature. Authors of children’s and young adult literature and their texts are perceived as being situated between art and literary market and between art and pedagogy. Nowadays a lot of authors of adult literature start to publish for young people. Analyzing the representation and discursive evaluation of the well-known and commercially successful authors Dave Eggers and Marc-Uwe Kling, the article will show how representation of authorship changes when authors migrate to the field of children’s and young adult literature.
