In the decades following their publication, writers on both sides of the Atlantic produced no fewer than two hundred imitations, revisions, and parodies of Carroll's fantasies for children. Carolyn Sigler has gathered the most interesting and original of these responses to the Alice books, many of them long out of print. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced between 1869 and 1930, these works trace the extraordinarily creative, and often critical, response of diverse writers. These writers -- male and female, radical and conservative -- appropriated Carroll's structures, motifs, and themes in their Alice-inspired works in order to engage in larger cultural debates. Their stories range from Christina Rossetti's angry subversion of Alice's adventures, \u003ci\u003eSpeaking Likenesses\u003c\/i\u003e (1874), to G.E. Farrow's witty fantasy adventure, \u003ci\u003eThe Wallypug of Why\u003c\/i\u003e (1895), to Edward Hope's hilarious parody of social and political foibles, \u003ci\u003eAlice in the Delighted States\u003c\/i\u003e (1928). Anyone who has ever followed Alice down the rabbit hole will enjoy the adventures of her literary siblings in the wide Wonderland of the human imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Sigler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813109329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813109329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.22w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/21\/1997 pg. 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1997 pg. 82","brand":"Carolyn Sigler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926384869631,"sku":"9780813109329","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a4c527af-453a-49d4-a631-6cdc74e10e73.jpg?v=1681082784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alternative-alices-pa-carolyn-sigler-9780813109329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
