Mother Goose and the Cheshire Cat -- Charles Perrault and Lewis Carroll
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses two of the Western world’s great story tellers -- Charles Perrault and Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll). “At the time it all seemed quite natural,” Lewis Carroll wrote in the scene in which the White Rabbit first appears to Alice. Likewise, Cinderella does not seemed amazed when her godmother, who also happened to be a fairy, sent her to the garden for a pumpkin that promptly became a gilded coach. It is important for readers, both those of the 21st century and those that were contemporaries of the authors, to understand that neither piece of literature is “just” a children’s story. Each offers any number of ways of unfolding as a fabric of symbols, psychological, political, and otherwise. No additional sources.
