children's Literature
this Interesting Book Of Critical Essays Is Part Of A Series Created By Dr. Bloom To Accompany His Great Books Studies. Bloom Suggests That A Liberal Education Should Include The Study Of 100 Of The Greatest Books Ever Written. They Are The Basis Of This Series And Are Listed In The Beginning Of The Book. There Is Some Debate, Of Course, On What Are The 100 Greatest Books. This Edition About alice's Adventures In Wonderland Includes 12 Critical Essays By Well-known Authors Such As J.b. Priestly, Phyllis Greenacre, And Florence Baker Lennon. The Authors Attempt To Categorize Carroll's Famous Children's Novel In Terms Of Thematic Content, Particular Elements Such As Fantasy Or Love And Death, And His Use Of Poetry. The Essays Make For Challenging And Interesting Reading, But As Even Dr. Bloom Admits, Carroll's Genre Evades Every Definition. Carroll's Use Of Nonsense Is An English Tradition Not Easily Explained, And Continues, Thank Goodness, As Evidenced In Many Beatles Songs And Monty Python Performances. Differing From Folk Tales In Its Lack Of Clear Moral Lessons, alice's Reading Remains An Exercise In The Kind Of Childlike Fun That Leaves One Thrilled And A Bit Apprehensive At The Same Time. The Book Includes An Afterthought By Dr. Bloom, Comparing The Alice Books To Modern Children's Stories Such As The Harry Potter Books; A Chronology Of The Life Of Charles Dodgson (lewis Carroll); An Extensive Bibliography; Brief Vita On The Authors Of The Essays; And An Index.
