All About Alice (im »Collector«)

Der »Collector« ist eine kanadische Website, die geisteswissenschaftliche Themen popularisiert. Und sie verfügt mit Rosie Lesso über eine schottische Autorin, die nahezu alles über Alice im Wunderland weiß und mit ihrem Wissen nicht hinter dem Berg hält:

• Fiction vs Fantasy: What’s the Difference? Fiction and fantasy both explore invented characters and events, but fantasy delves into the realms of the unbelievable.
• Alice in Wonderland: Illustrations of Lewis Carroll’s Iconic Novel. Since Lewis Carroll published Alice in Wonderland in 1865, the novel has had many different editions published with a wide range of accompanying artwork.
• Artworks Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has inspired artists in many ways since its publication, from Salvador Dalí to Yayoi Kusama.
• What Does Alice Represent in Alice in Wonderland? The character of Alice in Lewis Carroll’s much loved classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has had numerous symbols attached to her.
• What Is Alice in Wonderland Syndrome? Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is a rare medical condition that causes a series of disorientating perceptual experiences, as we explain below.
• What Are the Most Important Symbols in Alice in Wonderland? According to scholars, Alice in Wonderland is rife with symbolic motifs, from Alice to the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.

Diese sechs Beiträge (besonders der letztgenannte) sind willkommenes Material, um meine Ausflüge in den Wunderland-Kosmos mit Hintergrundwissen zu unterfüttern.
