The Alice Books and the Contested Ground of the Natural World (Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature)

Laura White

4.9/5 (10575 ratings)

Description:Though popular opinion would have us see Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There as whimsical, nonsensical, and thoroughly enjoyable stories told mostly for children; contemporary research has shown us there is a vastly greater depth to the stories that would been seen at first glance. Building on the, now popular, idea amongst Alice enthusiasts, that the Alice Books at heart, were intended to adults as well as children, Laura White takes current research in a new, fascinating direction. During the Victorian era of the book's original publication, ideas about nature and our relation to nature were changing drastically. The Alice Books and the Contested Ground of the Natural World argues that Lewis Carroll used the book's charm, wit and often puzzling conclusions to counter the emerging tendencies of the time that favored Darwinism and theories of evolution and challenged the then conventional thinking of the relationship between mankind and nature. Though a scientist and ardent student of nature himself, Carroll used his famously playful language, fantastic worlds and brilliant, often impossible characters to support more the traditional, Christian ideology of the time in which mankind holds absolute sovereignty over animals and nature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
