| Summary |
This book examines the many reincarnations of Carrolls texts, illuminating how the meaning of the original books has been re-negotiated through adaptations, appropriations, and transmediality. The volume is an edited collection of eighteen essays and is divided into three sections that examine the re-interpretations of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass in literature, film, and other media (including the branches of commerce, music videos, videogames, and madness studies). This collection is an addition to the existing work on Alice in Wonderland and its sequels, adaptations, and appropriations, and helps readers to have a more comprehensive view of the extent to which the Alice story world is vast and always growing. Antonio Sanna (PhD, University of Westminster) teaches English in Sassari, Italy. He is the co-editor of the series Critical Companions to Contemporary Directors and has edited volumes on historical and fictional pirates, the last season of Twin Peaks and Welsh writer Arthur Machen |
