Описание: This fresh and comprehensive analysis of the creative works of Lewis Carroll addresses with authority the dominant issues and events in the life and works of the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - the puzzling, eccentric, whimsical and brilliant Oxford mathematics don who changed literature and infused world culture with the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Conceived in 1862 and inspired by Carroll's real-life dream-child Alice Liddell, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its indelible character Alice is now accepted as a masterpiece. The book became a global phenomenon in Carroll's life and has remained a bestseller and a rich source of inspiration for various art forms in the more than 150 years since its publication. Today, it is a global resource beyond Lewis Carroll or the property of editorial writers, advertising copywriters, literary critics, children of all ages, film makers and others. Lewis Carroll and his Alices are part of our cultural heritage. Alice's story lives in countless editions, illustrations, stage and screen adoptions and adaptations, and has been translated into no fewer than 174 languages. Writing with broad access to updated or previously unavailable primary materials and the vast arena of contemporary scholarship on Carroll and his works, Professor Guiliano offers an authoritative account of Carroll's identities, behaviors and works. He connects the diverse elements in his art--from photography to poetry--to the great Alice books and more. Through a focus on the primary works, the question "Why Alice?"--the original text and its cipher-like afterlives--is placed in numerous contexts, including the era in which the Alices were created, and their many layers of complexity pealed back. In the end, the plurality of Carroll's art is revealed, including through selected reproductions of his photographs and drawings. CONTENTS include: Quite the Golden Afternoon; Before Alice--Photography and More; Mysteries & Identity; Speculations & Answers; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There; The Hunting of the Snark; Publications Beyond; Why Alice? Posthumous Productivity & Popularity; A Biographical Chronology; and Selected Bibliography.

Описание:

Dickens & Women ReObserved is a rich collection of new essays by scholars and critics from various parts of the world who represent a new appreciation and understanding of Charles Dickens and things woman.

A new generation of scholars and critics, first led by feminist critics of the 1970s, began to re-observe the man and his works with fresh eyes. A second generation of critics--those now schooled in gender studies, cultural studies, psychological theory, play theory, eco-criticism, thing theory, and a range of isms and schisms that flourish in the academy today--have originated a new and more reflective discourse on Dickens and women, and women generally in the nineteenth century.

Collectively, the essays in this volume overturn a prevalent and largely unchallenged belief held for more than 150 years: that Dickens' female characters were one-dimensional Victorian stereotypes only and that, as exemplified by his literary depictions and conflicted personal life, he did not understand or value women as important, capable, or gifted in their own right.

Dickens & Women ReObserved is an important work for comprehending one of the world's greatest novelists and, by extension, facilitating greater study of contemporary views of Victorian women. In prose accessible to the general reader as well as scholars in literary studies, the diverse essays in this volume investigate a broad range of subjects in Dickens' celebrated artistry, including Modernism, Queen Victoria, Ellen Ternan, adaptations, composition methods, gender, sensuality, agency, major female characters, and French as well as African relevancies.
