Summary:
"Fashioning Alice is the first book to chart the emergence of Lewis Carroll's Alice as a style icon during the Victorian period and her contemporary legacies. Kiera Vaclavik here traces the evolution of Alice's visual identity and the ways in which Alice has been dressed in print, visual culture and performance back to Carroll's own day. The book also draws on historical sources to examine non-professional performance and play in the UK, USA, Japan and Australia. Illustrated throughout with 90 images of Alice in fashion, Fashioning Alice is a ground-breaking study of the character's visual legacy"-- Provided by publisher.
