Finally we have a Marxist analysis of Arthur Ransome's work!

First define your Marx, please. As we are dealing in a childrens world, the only Marx of consequence would be Louis - the great American toymaker. He finally sold out to Quaker Oats (see prevoius references and analysis to link to AR's text) in the mid 1970's. However he never made any toys of the S&A concentrating instead on trains and Mickey Mouse.

I would have thought that Levi-Strauss's work on the Amazon rainforests would be of greater relevance.

Perhaps a follow up showing how the publication of S&A in the year of Derrida's birth affected his subsequent work.
