Fashioning Alice: The Career of Lewis Carroll's Icon, 1860-1901: Bloomsbury Perspectives on Children's Literature

Autor Dr Kiera Vaclavik
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 feb 2019
150 years after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was first published, Lewis Carroll's eponymous heroine has become one of the most familiar figures in the cultural landscape. The enduringly iconic figure of the Victorian child, Alice has inspired countless fashion designers, illustrators and stylists. The 'Alice Look' has been embraced across the world, by young and old alike, and by both the feted and the forgotten. Fashioning Alice is the first book to chart the emergence of Alice as a style icon. Kiera Vaclavik traces the evolution of Alice's visual identity in the nineteenth century and explores the myriad ways in which she was dressed - on the page, on the stage, and in the home. The book also draws on historical sources to examine amateur performance and play not just in the UK but in the USA, Japan and Australia. Illustrated throughout, Fashioning Alice is a ground-breaking exploration of Alice's visual career that offers a compelling case study of the intersections between fashion and fiction.

Recenzii

For those looking to follow Alice's career as a style icon in the twenty-first century, Fashioning Alice provides background information to the phenomenal interest her character continues to attract in the fashion world ... Vaclavik has succeeded in bringing children's illustrated literature further into realms of fashion history.
Fashioning Alice is a study of Lewis Carroll's dream-child as she appeared over several decades . Vaclavik pays attention to Carroll's personal interest in clothes, as evidenced in his precise instructions to his photographic sitters and in his professed dislike of restricting dress.
