Childhood Readings and the Genesis of Names in the Earthsea Novels of Ursula K. Le Guin

Abstract

The creation of names in the Earthsea novels is a playful activity that reawakens a childlike sensitivity to the physical elements of speech and writing and revives memories of language-based experiences that include childhood readings and the encounter with foreign words and names, as often appear in juvenile literature.
