The Very Modern Alice in Wonderland
Listen now
Description
Alice in Wonderland, the little girl created by Oxford mathematician and logician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll, came to life in 1865. While her pinafore and his frockcoat and long wavy hair, which were old fashioned even for their time, catch our eye and distance them from us on the other side of the tumultuous 20th century, our ear tells us a very different story. Written by Stephanie Lovett. Narration by Dr. Nicholas B. Breyfogle.
