An Exhibit To The Impossible: Finding Oneself Through Wonderland’S Agential Objects, Fiona Promisel

English Honors Theses

In 1865, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, Dodgson would publish his story about a girl who falls into a fantastical world and has adventures with whimsical creatures, interacting with enchanted objects all to explore an elaborate “greenhouse” of a story. This book was titled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Carroll’s story, accompanied by John Tenniel’s illustrations, is inseparable from objects’ new significance of objects to invoke wonder in Victorian culture.

Alex In Wonderland (Or A Clockwork Tour) + Whale Watching, Colin Bishoff

Graduate Research Showcase

Lewis Carroll’s (Charles Dodgson’s) Alice stories (1865, 1871) and Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange (1962) remain some of the most linguistically inventive works of English literature. Yet despite their shared fondness for creative wordplay—and due, perhaps, to the stylistic differences of their respective film adaptations—Carroll and Burgess are rarely considered side by side. While some of the parallels between their works can no doubt be traced to James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake—which took inspiration from Carroll and which Burgess, in turn, translated into Italian—the similarities between the Alice stories and A Clockwork Orange are significant enough in themselves to merit attention. …

Birth By Sleep: An Immersive Adventure Through Wonderland, Edd Bass

Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters

When Lewis Carroll wrote down Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland he never expected it to become a worldwide sensation. His work has gained a following as psychoanalysis has allowed people to dive deeper into Alice’s dream world. Many books and movies based on the Alice books have been released, such as Sucker Punch. On a seemingly unrelated topic, a company called Punchdrunk has created an immersive theatre piece known as Sleep No More in which the audience runs around a “hotel” following different actors and trying to unveil the story unfolding. Immersive Theatre allows for the audience to be swallowed up …

Tales Of Empire: Orientalism In Nineteenth-Century Children's Literature, Brittany Renee Griffin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Children's literature often does not hold the same weight in the studies of a culture as its big brother, the novel. However, as children's literature is written by adults, to convey information which is important for a child to learn in order to be a functioning member of that society, it can be analyzed in the same way novels are, to provide insight into the broad sweeping issues that concerned the adults of that era. Nineteenth-century British children's literature in particular reveals the deep-seated preoccupation the British Empire had with its eastern colonies, and shows how England's relationship to those …

Water-Babies, White Rabbits And Lost Boys: Examining The Victorian Age Through The Lens Of Children's Literature, Elizabeth Carpenter

Lawrence University Honors Projects

Children’s literature has been studied throughout its existence, and is a valuable tool for examining the issues of the time periods in which they are written, however they can also be used as lenses through which to critique the societies in which they exist. My project examines Charles Kingsley’s Water-Babies, Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There and J.M Barrie’s Peter Pan as vehicles of social critique and commentary. All three stories present interesting main characters who act as foils for the issues their authors deal with, from the debate over evolution, …

Alice's Shadow: Childhood And Agency In Lewis Carroll's Photography, Illustrations, And Alice Texts, R. Nichole Rougeau

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The nineteenth century marks the emergence of a new literary market directed at the entertainment of children. However, a dichotomy exists concerning the image of childhood. Adults tended to idolize childhood in literature to reflect on their own lives ignoring the needs of children to possess an identity of their own. Essentially children are shadows of adults. Examinations of the shadows of childhood—children as shadows of adults, children shadowed by adults, the shadows as identifying children, and the shadows children themselves cast—lead to a discussion of agency over childhood. Lewis Carroll, entering this new literary market with his Alice series, …
