Portrait of the Artist as a Young Adult: The Arts in Young Adult Literature

by Lois Thomas Stover and Connie S Zitlow

This book looks at literature that features young adults who either identify themselves as artists or use the arts in very intentional ways to help create a sense of self in their adolescent lives. The authors examine a number of books featuring teens who engage in music, poetry, painting, and various other means of artistic expression.
