Scroll all, all the way down to the very bottom of this blog to find a list of events that will be updated monthly as Alice160 starts to roll out celebrations, performances, TV broadcasts, film screenings and much more. Exclusives, world premieres, and rarities will be highlighted amongst many other things.

The calendar contains contributions by the good people of Lewis Carroll Society Facebook, and is made possible by Elfsight. 

Exploring the world of Carroll depictions through a post myth lens...

Its been a wild few months for me, which is why I forgot to post here for a long while! You may remember that a long while back I posted about a long academic essay I was doing about depictions of Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) in film and TV. I have now very nearly completed what is part 1 of a 2 part retrospective on this. 

Throughout these last few months I have been consuming works such as Dreamchild (1985) and Alice (1965) Examining what they say about 20th century thoughts on Dodgson (non surprise: there's a lot of Freudianism and opinions stated as facts...) and what they say about their author, Dennis Potter.  

Throughout this reading the work of Will Brooker, especially his study Alice's adventures in Popular Culture, has made me contextualize these portrayals. I hope my final piece of work whenever it is finished, can illuminate truths about Dodgson, and more importantly, how society views and misinterprets as eras stretch further into history. 

Illustration archiving has now begun

Going to be saving my fave carrollian photos/illustrations to this blog in the next few weeks!

Sadly can't save everything but I will choose the loveliest archive illustration posts I have!

Many thanks,

Chloe :) 

Update on archival posts

Apologies for all the archival posts but I am hastily transferring old content from tumblr to this blog. 

These archival posts will be tagged with Archive post (from old tumblr) to clear up any confusion. 

I'm transferring the last few essays and reviews across and hopefully can start photo archive soon! 

Thanks for your patience!
