Description
Book Synopsis Part of Alice''s appeal is her ambiguity, which makes possible a range of interpretations in adapting Lewis Carroll''s classic Wonderland stories to various media.
Popular re-imaginings of Alice and her topsy-turvy world reveal many ways of eliciting enchantment and shaping make-believe. Late 20th century and 21st century adaptations interact with the source texts and with each other--providing readers with an elaborate fictional universe.
This book fully explores today''s multi-media journey to Wonderland.
Trade Review"Presenting readers with a staggeringly ambitious project that makes this reviewer wonder if we indeed are all mad here, in the unreserved scope and trendiness of the multiforms under discussion, Kérchy’s densely particular approach accumulates into an inter-generational, international, intermedial ethnography that honors the possibilities of fantasy as a gendered, cross-cultural genre of awe, imagination, incredibility." - Ida Yoshinaga,
Gramarye Journal"Anna Kérchy's Alice in Transmedia Wonderland tackles the daunting task of examining the virtually countless postmillenial adaptations of the original Alice tales - and, as becomes more and more obvious, rewritings of the Lewis Carroll myth as well." - Virginie Iché,
