- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2016
- 150 years after the original publication of 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland', Robert Douglas-Fairhurst (Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford), author of the Costa-shortlisted biography 'The Story of Alice', examines the character of Lewis Carroll and the creation of his iconic heroine. From Victorian Oxford to the modern online world, he explores how every generation has created its own Wonderland, and why we are still so curious about Alice’s dreamworld.
This talk was part of an event exploring the work of celebrated Oxford storytellers Lewis Carroll, J.R.R. Tolkien and Philip Pullman and how their stories have been reimagined using a range of digital media. Watch the full discussion here: • The Stories of Lewis C... .

"wonderland" is not a place, its a state of mind
Wonderland is a adapting because heartland was taken , duh._. Funny thing about perceptions , you can lie to them. you can lie to yourself with them._. Is heartland a state of mind or just a name in a state of texas._.
Amazing how your language descieves._.
If a person was born into a society of lies, how long till stupid figures it out?
The opening...-RIP my ears
we don't bury ourselves into book, they bury themselves into our minds and hearts,they change how we feel and how we think :)
Yes, you think lies are okay._.
Thank you for the lecture. I just taught The Water-Babies and cited a lot of Douglas-Fairhurst's paper in class. The next book is Alice and I'll recommend the video to my students, too.
In some part of the video the sound is low and unclear. If you have a script it would be great. The slides are also hard to see at times, but then again, the lecture is great in itself.
if you could directly record the speaker from the sound system instead of recording from the sound in the room it would vastly improve the audio, and these recordings as a whole!
Holy crap my ears
'The Story of Alice' is in front of me, waiting to be read. This made a wonderful introduction.
Super interesting lecture! I did find the duality of the fictional alice, but it's interesting to see how far the doubling/mirroring actually went in the book.
Doubling? There were also two Lewis Carroll's. The original one desperately wanted the world to see him as from proper Oxford alone, but all the wonderful images and nonsensical words in "Alice" came from Sunderland (see "Alice in Sunderland"). And no wonder - his family and Alice Liddell's (Alice for whom he wrote "Alice") were from the very tiny village of Whitburn, Sunderland, Durham (to which they all returned each summer and had to have known each other from). But he assiduously scoured all his writings of references to the North (which the Beatles complained made you a yahoo to be from). And no doubt he also referred to Alice as a "Liddle" - the later, clunky, upperclass pronunciation - rather than the original "Lid-dell" (which the straightforward Lid-dells were scorned for adhering to). How do I deduct this? My grandmother and her sister Alice (not that Alice, but families reused names a lot then) left Whitburn for the USA; and we kept our uncouth pronunciation of the Liddell name (for what do Northerners know about their own names?); and my name is Suzanne Liddell Seed, thank you.
The coughing is activating my fight or flight
Run then.
I always liked that *chortle chortle* laugh thing
Interesting and riveting talk! I'm missing the depth psychological perspective, but appreciate this man's message.
What a fantastic, mind-blowing talk!

The English author Charles Kingsley, who wrote these lines from The Water Babies, took the last line from Hamlet; but what a poem it is, and how well it sticks in the mind!
"Do we bury ourselves in books..."
Me: Oh please don't. Please subvert my expectations. God, no. Don't say it.
"Or do books bury themselves in us."
Jesus Christ, I guess that's the oxford education at work.

I had a girlfriend named Alice, she was a nightmare.
"Who the f... is Alice ?"
I guess she's had her reasons, but you just don't wanna know
