Reply to Donald Rackin's Review of in the Shadow of the Dreamchild
Reply to Donald Rackin’s review of In the Shadow of the Dreamchild A number of years ago, the noted Carrollian Donald Rackin wrote a scathing review of In The Shadow Of The Dreamchild IN VICTORIAN STUDIES,(VOL. 43 no. 4). The journal refused me the right to reply, so I did so on the web... Mr Rackin's review is largely (I think he would agree), a sweeping and wholesale condemnation of my work in broad, non-specific strokes. In the Shadow of the Dreamchild is, he says, “difficult to take seriously”. He adds that it is “feebly documented”, “tendentious”, unreliable and inaccurate. He claims that I „misrepresent‟ my material both overtly and „insidiously‟. This is fairly uncompromising. He does, however, offer one opening comment on which we can both agree: If Leach's contentions were valid, our understanding of Dodgson, his particular upper-middle-class milieu, and even his literary and photographic achievements, would require substantial revision I wholly accept this. If – and I stress the „if‟ – I am correct in my contention that biography has seriously misrepresented the documentary reality of Charles Dodgson's life, and if those manifold inaccuracies and „myths‟ (as I have termed them) can be proved to exist and to diverge markedly from the documentary reality, then indeed our understanding of Dodgson would require very „substantial revision‟ indeed. So, the vital question would seem to be – am I correct? Mr Rackin would have his readers believe that the very idea is ridiculous. But in truth, all we need to do is review Carroll's biographical history, and we discover all the numerous errors and flights of fancy that combined to create the present image of Lewis Carroll.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.

Peter and Alice”; Or: the Dangers of Biopic Realism Franziska E
Lewis Carroll Review The Reviewing Journal of the Lewis Carroll Society [published in Issue 50, 2013, pp.5-8] Peter Logan's “Peter and Alice”; or: The dangers of biopic realism Franziska E. Kohlt A few weeks ago, I went to see "Peter and Alice”, a play by John Logan presented by the Michael Grandage Company, at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, and when people asked me, whether I liked it, I didn't quite know how to respond. The play is developed from the historical meeting of Alice Liddell Hargreaves and Peter Llywelyn Davies in 1932, the real-life models for Lewis Carroll's Alice and J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, and has them musing about their struggles to reconcile their own lives with that of their literary shadows. Did I like the idea? A play that combined the history of two of my favourite novels, with what may have been said or thought between the lines of written biography, as one review put it, the "Proustian fantasies" of the two protagonists exploring themselves, their personalities and their past through the genesis of those fictional creations - yes, I do like the idea a lot. Did I like the acting, the mis-en-scène? The stage - Davies' bookshop first, then Alice Liddell's Oxford, then Neverland, turning into the house of the Davie's, the villa of Reginald Hargreaves, the Great War, Wonderland, and then again the bookshop - represented the layers of the story - the present, history, memory, literary fiction - and leaving the stage, the protagonists exit in correct chronological order the stage of life itself – what a splendid

From Carroll's Alice and Barrie's Peter Pan to Rowling's Harry Potter
The178 Boy Who Lived: From Carroll’s Alice andAmy Billone Barrie’s Peter Pan to Rowling’s Harry Potter Amy Billone Who is today’s most beloved child character? In the midst of J. K. Rowling’s triumphs on the literary market, we would have difficulty giving any answer other than Harry Potter. Rowling’s fifth novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, broke records with its first print run of 6.8 million copies and a second print run of 1.7 million copies. Rowling has become an international celebrity; she is now the richest woman in England, wealthier than the Queen herself, and she has even been named an Officer of the British Empire. How- ever, five years before the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, James Kincaid boldly declared that “no children have ever been more desirable” than Lewis Carroll’s Alice and J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan (275). In this essay I will argue that Harry Potter competes with Alice and Peter Pan by combining both of them inside himself. He experiences Peter’s ecstasy when he gracefully flies, Peter’s superhuman aptness when he battles deadly foes, and Peter’s effortless capacity to make dreams come alive. At the same time, like Alice, Harry struggles to understand the difference between what appears to be true and what is true. In Book 1, he must work his way along a chessboard by playing with and against violently destructive chess pieces; by the end of Book 5 he has suffered betrayal by nearly everyone he knows.1 Moreover, as Harry matures, he becomes angrier and angrier at the chaos surround- ing him.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Literary Nonsense
University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Literary Nonsense A Deconstructive Analysis of Lewis Carroll’s Novel B. A. Essay Lara Ruiz Prados Kt.: 271184-4339 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2018 ABSTRACT This essay analyzes the main features of the nonsense genre, including its definition, characteristics and, especially, its relevance in the world of literature. Nonsense literature encourages the imagination of the reader, whether child or adult, and, at the same time, it motivates the use of the reader’s wisdom to make it even greater. It is not necessary to find out the intention of the writer while he or she was creating the book. The reader must interpret the text according to his own circumstances. Without any doubt, and according to Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), a critical reading must create a text because “there is nothing outside of the text.” Furthermore, the essay offers a deconstructive analysis of nonsense books by the well- known mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), who used to sign his novels with his pen name, Lewis Carroll. Particularly, the essay focuses its investigation on Carroll’s books about the unforgettable character of Alice, such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871). Indeed, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has been one of the world’s most frequently translated works and, after Shakespeare, Carroll is possibly the world’s most quoted author. The famous books about Alice were not expressly written for children; it is needless to say that also adults enjoy Carroll’s unsolved logic problems.

Contact: [email protected] Veronica SchanoeS Fearless Children and Fabulous Monsters Angela Carter, Lewis Carroll, and Beastly Girls Angela Carter’s various revisions of “Little Red Riding Hood” lay open the violent, alluring, and often distressing reality of adult sexuality. Although the relationship between Carter’s stories and the earlier tale has been ably analyzed,1 relatively little attention has been paid to the figure of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Carter’s work on “Little Red Riding Hood.” I would argue that Alice is an important figure in and that Carroll’s work is a vital intertext to Carter’s short story “Wolf-Alice” and the filmThe Company of Wolves. Carter’s stories are about the animalistic, exploit- ative potential of human sexuality, whereas Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There use animals to remind us of the seemingly arbitrary, nonsensical rules of the adult world. Both stories con- cern active girls exploring a world that is dangerous because of its unfamiliarity and the power of adults. By invoking both Alice and Little Red Riding Hood, Carter is able to present a more complex vision of female sexual awakening under patriarchy, its pleasures as well as its genuine risks and sufferings.
