Lewis Carroll, Linguistic Nonsense, and Cyberpunk

Описание:
What does 20th-century cyberpunk literature have to do with a mild mannered 19th-century British don who hid his shyness behind the facade of a children’s writer? At first glance, it seems as though the two have absolutely nothing in common. But, when one realizes the don in question is none other than the Reverend Charles Dodgson, better known to the world as Lewis Carroll, author of such classics as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Alice’s Adventures Through the Looking Glass, the connection becomes slightly more focused. There is no doubting that Carroll’s creatures continually appear in popular culture from music videos to video games to works of science fiction. What is in question is why. Why do Carroll’s characters figure in science fiction? Is it just the oddness and the bizarre quality of his works that cause popular culture to reach back to them? Or, is it possible that Carroll’s influence penetrates deeper than just his psychedelic characters and surreal plot twists?...Похожие книги
