Literatura pentru adolescenți (sau tineret)

Definiție

Literatura pentru adolescenți , e atât de compozită prin tematică, astfel încât a fost recunoscută ca gen autonom  doar de puțină vreme, de la sfârșitul anilor 60. Cărțile pentru adolescenți se întind pe un interval considerabil, de la science fiction la autobiografiey.  Genul e descris ca adunând opere care pot interesa pe adolescenți sau pe tineri. Asociația Bibliotecarilor Americani  (ABA) îi consideră adolescenți sau tineri pe cei cu vârsta intre 12-18 ani. 

Identificarea separată în clasificarea biblioteconomică a literaturii pentru tineret  a debutat în 1960. Inițial, bibliotecarii au aranjat aceste cărți în rafturi separate, iar editorii le-au urmat exemplul, deosebindu-le de literatura pentru copii sau de cea destinată în exclusivitate adulților.

Câteva exemple ar putea fi The Yearling de Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Contele de Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, De veghe în lanul de secară de J.D. Salinger și Aventurile lui Tom Sawyer  de Mark Twain. În special, romanul lui Salinger, cu protagonistul său foarte problematic, a avut o influență uriașă asupra autorilor de asemenea gen de literatură. 

În SUA se publică aproximativ 400 de titluri pe an. Pionierii acestui gen includ nume ca  Judy Blume, S.E. Hinton. Autori foarte cunoscuți de literatură pentru adulți au scris măcar un titlu din acest gen. Între ei figurează Michael Chabon (Summerland), Joyce Carol Oates (Big Mouth & Ugly Girl), sau Francine Prose (After).
