Alice has strong mainstream appeal; this was entrenched by Disney’s 1951 movie Alice in Wonderland (which is also responsible for people getting the title of the book wrong). However, Alice has.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

Note that “Alice in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There,” are in the public domain. The works were published before January 1, 1923, and are in the public domain worldwide because Carroll died in 1898, more than 100 years ago.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Interpretation Of Alice In Wonderland

In this section we really begin to leave Lewis Carroll behind and let readers take over. For, just as different illustrators 'hijack' Carroll's Alice and impose their own interpretations and visions on our imaginations, so too visions of Alice in film, music, games, and art shape our experience with it. For instance, for many born after 1951, it is not Tenniel's Alice that reigns supreme, but Disney's animated character that has conquered as the epitome of Alice representation, an incarnation that Carroll never would have imagined or recognized. And every generation re-invents Wonderland with the result that our question of “What is Alice?” really can have no stable and enduring answer. Helen Pilinovsky in her article “Body as Wonderland: Alice’s Graphic Iteration in Lost Girls” recognizes the appeal for readers to transform Alice, to adapt her and make her our own. “Alice, created a hundred years before most of the other classic figures of children’s literature, starts off with one key advantage: she’s in the public domain. In the hundred years since her copyright expired, she has passed from being a specific character to being a near archetype: images of Alice appear in every medium' (182). She then quotes Carolyn Sigler who argues that the “Alice books’ enduring power and appeal may very well lie in the fact that, like dreams, they can mean whatever the readers need them to mean” (182). And the past 150 years certainly has 'needed' Alice to mean many different things. And so, once again harnessing the power of the internet to connect us to thousands of Alices adapted by thousands of readers, in this section we explore further the Evolution of Wonderland through the art adapted from or inspired by Alice in other media.
