Franziska Kholt recently linked me to a fantastic essay she did about the faux biographical play "Peter and Alice"
The essay, entitled "The Dangers of Biopic Realism" is an excellent piece on why some playwrights tend to ignore the new research and seek sensationalism when writing about Carroll's life.
It is by no means an easy read but it is an essential one for anyone interested in how fiction about Dodgson sometimes perpetuates the myths surrounding the man.
