The Story of Alice
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2015 COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD This is the secret history of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Wonderland is part of our cultural heritage. But beneath the fairy tale lies the complex history of the author and his subject. Charles Dodgson was a quiet academic but his second self, Lewis Carroll, was a storyteller, innovator and avid collector of ‘child-friends’. Carroll’s imagination was to give Alice Liddell, his 'dream-child', a fictional alter ego that would never let her grow up. This is a biography that beautifully unravels the magic of Alice. It is a history of love and loss, innocence and ambiguity. It is the story of one man’s need to make a Wonderland in a changing world.
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
According to Harold Bloom, Lewis Carroll redefined children's books: Alice is the most mature, intelligent, and reflective character, hounded by petulant, stupid, and petty grown-ups. Descendants of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, today's children's books typically contrast the inquisitive intelligence of children with the oppressive immaturity of adults. Many artists and writers have created their own versions of this timeless story. They include countless stage adaptations, eleven Hollywood film versions, and a rock opera by Marilyn Manson. No other children's book has been accorded such creative reinvention. Inspired by the 1865 edition illustrated by Sir John Tenniel and the 1907 editi...
The Place of Lewis Carroll in Children's Literature
In this volume, Jan Susina examines the importance of Lewis Carroll and his popular Alice books to the field of children’s literature. From a study of Carroll’s juvenilia to contemporary multimedia adaptations of Wonderland, Susina shows how the Alice books fit into the tradition of literary fairy tales and continue to influence children’s writers. In addition to examining Carroll’s books for children, these essays also explore his photographs of children, his letters to children, his ill-fated attempt to write for a dual audience of children and adults, and his lasting contributions to publishing. The book addresses the important, but overlooked facet of Carroll’s career as an astute entrepreneur who carefully developed an extensive Alice industry of books and non-book items based on the success of Wonderland, while rigorously defending his reputation as the originator of his distinctive style of children’s stories.
