Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll (Author), Harold Bloom (ed.) Illustrator: NA: AliceaEUR s Adventures in Wonderland: (Viva Modern Critical Interpretations) Viva Books Private Limited 2007 ISBN: 9788130906362

New Paperback NA AliceaEUR s Adventures in Wonderland began as a tale told by Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson to three young girlsl (Lorina, Alice, and Edith Liddell) as the group took a rowing expedition up the Thames River. Enthralled by the story, Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write the story down for her, and he eventually did. In 1865, three years after their initial boat trip, Dodgson published AliceaEUR s Adventures in the Wonderland under the pen name Lewis Carroll. Like its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice is a story filled with imagery, symbolism, and unforgettable characters. As the critics in this volume attest, AliceaEUR s Adventures in Wonderland had sparked the imagination of countless children and adults alike, and has served as an influence to storyteller the world over. Alice herself is CarrollaEUR s most remarkable creation and is certainly the most memorable seven-year-old girl in all literature. Carroll desires her to remain seven forever, though he cannot control her dynamism or her will to live. But as an artist, Carroll triumphed over the obsessions of Dodgson the man. Wonderland and the Looking-Glass world have immolated time. The two slender volumes of Alice by Lewis Carroll hold a special place in world literatue. The number of critical appreciations of them alone bears witness to this. VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William FaulkneraEUR s The Sound and the Fury and Don DelilloaEUR s White Noise.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll plays with language conventions in his books about Alice, a seven year-old girl who experiences the madness of Wonderland and the Looking-Glass World. As a logician and mathematician, he also had an interest in the logic of language systems: He invented a great many mathematical and word puzzles, cipher methods [...] (Gardner 2001: xviii). According to Auden (cited in Drews 1975: 351), eine der wichtigsten und mächtigsten Figuren in Carroll's Alice books ist nicht eine Person, sondern die englische Sprache. By breaking the rules of language we are accustomed to, Carroll draws the reader's attention to the conversational rules and standards that are unconsciously applied in everyday speech. As a result, the reader becomes aware of the underlying structures of a language system. Carroll confronts his protagonist Alice with the illogical madness of his fantasy worlds. Alice appears to the reader as a girl who has a strong sense that her environment is comprised of clear, logical and consistent rules and features (Gatten 2009: Analysis of major characters, para. 1). Alice's convictions, however, are frustrated by the creatures in Wonderland and Looking-Glass World. She has to discover that nothing is in accord with the real world in Wonderland - not even habitual language use. Anything is possible in Wonderland, and Carroll's manipulation of language reflects this sense of unlimited possibility (Gatten 2009: Themes, Motifs and Symbols, para. 6 [Language]). Carroll deviates from the conditions of normal antonym use in many text passages. It is the intent of this paper to uncover the anomalies of language in Carroll's novels with regard to the deviation of opposites, which we need not only for the early acquisiton of language, but also in everyday conversation. For this purpose, types of opposition will be exemplified in the following and compared to the forms of opposites that Carroll used in his famous novels Alice's Adventures in Won-derland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872), in order to analyze the effects Carroll's individual style of writing has on the reader.
