Sinossi
Alice&;s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are two of the most famous, translated, and quoted books in the world. What began as a simple tale told by eccentric Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) to Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, become a worldwide phenomenon. Fostering film adaptations and retellings, and influencing countless other works, the Alice books have a deeply cherished place in popular culture. Known for their oddities and absurdities, the books have been endlessly interpreted and analyzed for symbolism and hidden messages.
Peter Hunt cuts away the psychological speculation that has grown up around the Alice books, and instead traces the historical sources of their multilayered in-jokes and political, literary, and philosophical satire. He situates the books in the history of children&;s literature and explores the local and personal references that the real Alice would have understood. Equally fascinating are the rich fragments about everything from the &;sensation&; novel to Darwinian theory&;not to mention Dodgson&;s personal feelings&;that he wove into the books as they developed.
Illustrated with manuscripts, portraits, Sir John Tenniel&;s original line drawings for the first editions, and contemporary photographs, this is an innovative look at two remarkable stories. The Making of Lewis Carroll&;s Alice and the Invention of Wonderland takes us on a guided tour from the treacle wells of Victorian Oxford through an astonishing world of politics, philosophy, humor, and nightmare.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass' are two of the most famous, translated and quoted books in the world. But how did a casual tale told by Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll), an eccentric Oxford mathematician, to Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, grow into such a phenomenon? Peter Hunt cuts away the psychological speculation that has grown up around the 'Alice' books and traces the sources of their multi-layered in-jokes and political, literary and philosophical satire. He first places the books in the history of children's literature - how they relate to the other giants of the period, such as Charles Kingsley - and explores the local and personal references that the real Alice would have understood. Equally fascinating is the rich texture of fragments of everything from the 'sensation' novel to Darwinian theory - not to mention Dodgson's personal feelings - that he wove into the books as they developed. Richly illustrated with manuscripts, portraits, Sir John Tenniel's original line drawings and contemporary photographs, this is a fresh look at two remarkable stories, which takes us on a guided tour from the treacle wells of Victorian Oxford through an astonishing world of politics, philosophy, humour - and nightmare.

The Making of Lewis Carroll's Alice
Da: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Peter Hunt presents a richly illustrated analysis of the beloved Alice books, contextualized within their era and the broader tradition of children's literature. Emphasizing the density of Carroll's prose - where nearly every sentence contains layers of satire, in-jokes, puzzles and tropes - he highlights elements that would have resonated with a child of the time and explores references to mid-Victorian life aimed at adult eyes.
