Rural Young Adult Literature

Abstract

Welcome to Study & Scrutiny, Issue 6.2. For this special issue of Study and Scrutiny: Research on Young Adult Literature, deftly curated by Rachelle Kuehl and Chea Parton, we are excited to share with you research and analysis on rural young adult literature. The study of young adult literature in rural settings is not new, but it has never been so focused. Research abounds across many scholarly journals, and other resources for exploring rural young adult literature have been established to enrich our understanding of this vital body of literature.
