{"product_id":"peter-pans-shadows-in-the-kirsten-stirling-9781138849693","title":"Peter Pan's Shadows in the Literary Imagination","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a literary analysis of J.M. Barrie's \u003cem\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/em\u003e in all its different versions -- key rewritings, dramatisations, prequels, and sequels -- and includes a synthesis of the main critical interpretations of the text over its history. A comprehensive and intelligent study of the Peter Pan phenomenon, this study discusses the book's complicated textual history, exploring its origins in the Harlequinade theatrical tradition and British pantomime in the nineteenth century. Stirling investigates potential textual and extra-textual sources for \u003cem\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/em\u003e, the critical tendency to seek sources in Barrie's own biography, and the proliferation of prequels and sequels aiming to explain, contextualize, or close off, Barrie's exploration of the imagination. The sources considered include Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's \u003cem\u003eStarcatchers\u003c\/em\u003e trilogy, R馮is Loisel's six-part \u003cem\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/em\u003e graphic novel in French (1990-2004), Andrew Birkin's \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Boys\u003c\/em\u003e series, the films \u003cem\u003eHook\u003c\/em\u003e (1991), \u003cem\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/em\u003e (2003) and \u003cem\u003eFinding Neverland\u003c\/em\u003e (2004), and Geraldine McCaughrean's \"official sequel\" \u003cem\u003ePeter Pan in Scarlet\u003c\/em\u003e (2006), among others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Stirling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138849693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138849693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Kirsten Stirling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924216217855,"sku":"9781138849693","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1c1ed968-0e5a-436b-be31-ae1528cc1dca.jpg?v=1681069162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peter-pans-shadows-in-the-kirsten-stirling-9781138849693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
