- Inhalt
- In 1865, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson published a book about a girl called Alice, who follows a white rabbit through a rabbit hole into a strange land inhabited by even stranger creatures. She meets the Cheshire Cat, changes her own size by eating and drinking, attends the weirdest tea party and curiouser and curiouser stands trial for allegedly stealing the Queen's tarts.
Even this very reduced description of the plot of Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is most likely familiar to most Anglophone readers. More than 150 years after the book was published, Alice has moved beyond the pages of her own two books (Through the Looking Glass followed Alice in Wonderland four years later). She as well as many of the Wonderland characters has become a literary phenomenon and Carroll's novel has inspired artists, musicians and novelists ever since. This course looks at several literary Alice in Wonderland adaptations (in the broadest sense), tracing how and to what effect the novel has been used by later generations.
To show what Alice has contributed to (not only) English literary history, this course will work with several primary texts and excerpts of primary texts alongside a wide array of literary theory, including intertextuality, frame theory, parody and satire theory, feminism, otherness, and queer studies.
Participants are advised to have read both of Carroll's texts by the beginning of the course. For more obligatory reading see below.
